Just puzzled...

Submitted some photos to Adobe. Every single one rejected. Getting frustrated here. Been trying to learn and be careful taking photos and editing but I just can´t seem to make it. Other places are accepting and I´m receiving compliments. Just about giving up on Adobe. Can you help me find out what´s wrong and develop at this, please. Cause I cant´t really tell what´s wrong and the technical issue message isn´t really helping. 

 

Do my pics really suck that much or is this just Adobes way of saying - go away, we have enough pictures? H

Nope. Technical issue.

That's a rejection reason. Not Nope! 😉 Always tell us what Adobe told you for rejecting the asset.

 

Your pictures:

Out of focus and noise.

Underexposed, noise, missing contrasts.

Third image: focus point is in the lower edge of the picture, missing contrast, washed out colours.

 

I really don't know what other places you mean, but Adobe stock is known to have a quite stringent vetting. If you want compliments, post in social media. None of the stock companies I know are giving out compliments. They accept the pictures or not. If accepted, it generates sales or not.

Underexposed and noisy. Look at the histogram to confirm. Zoom in to 100-200% to confirm focus and noise.

What specific rejections did Adobe give, please? Did you include suitable model releases?

Nope. Technical issue. That´s all I´m getting. I´d be pleased even with your picture is bad, crappy, poor light or just plain old boring. Or "Sorry we got millions of these already". Anything but the technical issues, please.
