My photos were denied due to Quality Issues. Why?

Thank you All for the replies! Good find on the vignetting. I trim those out. Yeah, newer  drone cameras definitely look better but this one still captured at or above the minimum required specs.
While editing this batch, I did check for clipping in the sky and both the first and last pictures (with the bright sun) came in under. In some of the middle pictures I will bring up the black/shadows and bring down the whites because those do clip a little bit.

I double checked my horizon and it’s correct. But with the wide angle lens you get some distortion, hence why the buildings may look a little off.

I know these photos aren’t amazing works of art BUT they are from the Pacific Palisades before half of these homes burned down a year ago. I’m sure plenty of residents would appreciate these photos being accessible. The similar photo that was accepted years ago has been purchased several times in the last year. It got me to find these other angles and try to make them available to the masses.

And in all honesty, I have no idea why the middle photos (the ones without the ocean) got flagged with Quality Issues. There is nothing glaringly wrong in my eyes and those are the ones I’m most interested in getting up on Adobe Stock.

Thanks again and and if anyone has any thoughts on those middle photos, please let me know.

Hello,

The vignetting—which is vert slight—may be a point for rejection. (Slight shadow in the corners.) You could crop that out, and also get your horizon straighter. I also suspect, that due to these shots being taken with a drone camera, that the quality of the sensor is lower than today, and that when enlarged—as it could be— could be a problem in that the pixels may start to show. It is impossible to tell as on this new platform one cannot upload the orginal size.

What was accpeted a few years ago, may not be accpeted today.

There is at least anecdotal evidence that assets were accepted “years ago” are now being rejected for quality issues. The competition is getting stiffer and stiffer every day.

In the first image, the horizontal is not completely level, and the buildings are tilted slightly. The sky is overexposed, especially on the right side and there appears to be a bit of vignetting in the upper corners. In the second image, you could lift the shadows a bit. The last image also has an overexposed sky and vignetting.
