Work on your cropping and composition some. For instance I find this iis a better landscape form and better composition.

Noted, thank you. So its ok to add things to the image that werent originally there? Because i removed the footprints and "mess" in the sand to clear up this image a bit. Will Work on that though thank you.

Thank you for the feedback. I didnt crop this image though, its how i took the photo. Might take wider photos from now on, I think this was also done from a cellphone in 2018. I will work on the suggestions you have given though thank you much appreciated.

AdobeStock also checks for things like whiteout, blackout, underexposure, and overexposure.

It's a good idea to retouch using Lightroom or Photoshop so that it falls within the standard range.

You also need to check for blur, out-of-focus, and noise.

Enlarge the image to 100% on the monitor to check.

The rocks in the foreground are dark.

 

Sunset in the suburbs
The image is black and crushed. Noise is noticeable.
