"Is there an actual list of the criteria needed so you don't keep submitting to have them rejected a few days later with zero feedback from those who evaluate your work."

I guess the following list is a good start to get an idea of why pictures might be rejected:

Reasons content is rejected at Adobe Stock

But I know that sometimes it's hard to understand why a picture was not accepted, especially when 'technical problem' is the given reason. I've had my share of rejected pictures and while in some cases, after paying extra attention to details, it becomes obvious why it wasn't accepted, sometimes I'm just left scratching my head as well...

you need to pay more attention to cropping and depth of field.

Hi @Asgarot5CA0 ,

First image is noisy and not completely in focus. Also the composition is poor. My eyes are more attracted by the blur than anything else in that frame.

The second is noisy and not completely sharp.

Too much of the third image is out of focus.

The fourth is as the first.

The fifth is over-exposed, noisy, has a pink color cast and too much is out of focus.

Best wishes

Only Adobe Stock curators could give you the exact reason for rejection of each picture, but I in my opinion there are different issues. For instance, I think 1,2,5 are underexposed. Some have to much noise (2, 6) or have color cast (i.e. the white is not white, for example 1 and 3).

Hope that helps,

Michael

Thank you very much I think you are right. Many times it's hard to see something wrong with our work. Now it's time to look for the raws again and process again. And maybe calibrate my monitor. You have been a great help to me
