    How about for editorial use only?

    ========

    NO. This image is not eligible for “llustrative Editorial” consideration. 

    Besides, picture quality is your main problem here, not branding. 

     

    I urge you to carefully read through your Contributor User Guide. You can’t succeed at Stock until you know everything that’s required.

    Come back after you’ve submitted content to Stock and have a refusal for us to critique. 

    Good luck.

    No, it’s not well composed, rather blurry and the white area is overexposed.

    Probably not. Composition is cluttered. Mower is leaning. Left side of frame is blurry & washed out.

    If you were the customer, which image would you buy for a commercial project?
