It lacks the aesthetic or commercial appeal that we are looking for, so we cannot accept it

Why does this photo lack aesthetic or commercial appeal?


By @Photo2525213482vj

 

Why?

Because of the background, it is not flattering. I wouldn't choose a textured wall. The composition could be better. How you have arranged the model isn't a good pose, I think. The arm holding the phone and the position of the hands/arm don't work. Also, there is no depth. The image is rather two-dimensional. These are some things to consider when taking models.

The posture and pose are important, as well as the lighting, which is flat, and the background!

    I agree with the Stock Reveiwer's decision.  Not much wow factor here.

    Compare your selfie with the other 100 pages of selfies in Adobe Stock.

      Hi,

       

      I also agree with Abambno. Please have in mind that pictures should reach as wide a target group as possible and be able to sell themselves. Hope that helps.

      regards,Henrik

      Because it is technically correct, but Adobe feels that it won't sell. This indeed is an appreciation of the moderator. But still, I can agree, as the picture does not inspire me. It looks like a nice snapshot of a friend and not something that you want to use commercially. You have used a too wide lens, a less than flattering lightning and the background is too sharp.

       

      Simply move on, and sub mit the next picture.
