Image Rejections

Thanks everyone. I touched up the flyaway hairs and resubmitted - and all the images were accepted! So either that was the problem, or this time I got a reviewer who was having a better day!

You didn't tell us the reasons for the rejection. Adobe gave you a reason and a stock text. I can only assume that it was “Quality Issues”.

At a first sight, your images are charming, and I suppose that they also could have passed.

Third image:

You have different sharpening planes.

The dog's left eye is sharp, the right eye isn't. The snout is unsharp, the whiskers are oversharp. There is also an oversharpened hair above the right eye.

The woman's eyes are not sharp, but several hairs on her head are oversharpened.

The oversharpened hair would be considered as artefacts.

There are no such geometric transitions than with the other two images, but I see errors in the blurring that are quite obvious:

Second:

I see the same artefacts in the hair of the woman and the dog, and the same inconstancy in the whiskers.

Check also the eyebrows for artefacts due to oversharpening.

And then you have this drawing error:

First:

Your first shows a black border on the right, that is even a “Non-compliant Image” refusal.

And you have a region around the head with a rather high noise level and a sharp border where you have no noise:

Around the dog's right eye at the bottom, you have a white line that makes no sense.

Thanks for the image improvement tips. Much appreciated. I still, however, don't think these items justify "rejection."

Hello,

 I would also add white balance, and the skin tones aren't quite right! Try to correct these issues as well.

All the images, in addition to what @Jill_C mentioned, could use some touch-up with the fly-away hairs.

In the first image, the dog's snout is blurry and the hairs in the woman's forehead are unrealistic. In the second image, the snout is blurry. In the third image, the woman's teeth are odd - too large?
