My photo was rejected due to quality standards. Could you please help check exactly what is wrong it? I would appreciate specific feedback on how to improve it meets Adobe Stock requirements. Thank you

thank you very much for your helpful advice.

Hey ​@intuitive_practice45af 

This is a cool plant. The saturation and hue are off, as well as clarity. 
You may want to clean up the image. Get rid of those distractions.

Cheers

Hello,

Composition could be improved.

Read this help guide from Adobe to give you a few ideas.

Composition

The type of lighting conditions you have taken it in also does not help.

Exposure

I am concerned about the halation caused by backlighting.
This tends to occur when the lens is smudged or dirty.

Photos that simply show many instances of the same object within the frame tend to be rejected.
You might want to try capturing the entire subject or taking a closer close-up shot instead.

Thank you very much for your helpful advice.

Nice plant. But I’m seeing grain & lack of sharpness, due to the low light conditions. This is not suitable for commercial use.

For reference, this is what you’re competing with in Stock.

That is a great picture of a burro's tail succulent, especially if you are growing it. From what I understand  looking at other pictures on the internet, the color should have more depth to it, but it does grow in different shades of light green.  I do like the even color you got without overexposing certain areas. I would adjust the crop so the whole plant is in the picture. I do feel this is a special example of this older plant, which some inspectors might not understand. After you make the adjustments, depending on your description, you should point out the age of the plant and how slow growing it is. I am assuming this is a real picture.

First and foremost, too tightly cropped with respect to composition. Leave room for the buyer to crop as needed or to add text.
