My images got rejected due to i.c.m

Hi @kurt277515511fim ,

When producing stock photos you need to think of maximizing the potential sales of your work. A frame with sharp objects will gain more sale than one with blur objects. Customers will want to remove objects from a background or to use the same image for diverse projects. Therefore sharp, versatile imagery is preferred. I have not seen images accepted with this kind of motion blur by Adobe or any other platforms that are serious about stock sale. Therefore I can safely say the motion blur is the reason for rejection. 

I suggest you go through all the subjects at the Adobe Stock Contributor Learn and Support.

Learn how to create better photos for Adobe stock. 

And follow these tips to improve your submission.

Best wishes

Adobe Stock customers expect the highest visual and technical quality for use in commercial projects.  Emphasis on commercial. 

Don't fall in love with style over good photographic technique.  ICM is like grandma's antique fine china.  Bring it out for special occasions only and use it very carefully.  😉

Hi Kurt!

I do not know what you say is "similar", but personally, I do not find pictures like this usefull. If I want movement, I apply that dynamically in Photoshop. 

I don't know what Adobe's criteria are for accepting images with intentional camera movement, but perhaps these were rejected because of other technical issues, in particular blownout areas in the sky. Most if the other accepted images seem to be suitable for backgrounds, which is not the case with yours.
