Need Help Understanding "Quality Issues" Rejection for My Images

Question

Hello everyone,I'm a contributor and I'm hoping to get some help understanding why a recent batch of my images was rejected. They were all flagged for "Quality Issues," but I'm having trouble pinpointing the exact problem.I know that "Quality Issues" is a broad category that can cover everything from focus and noise to lighting and artifacts. Before I spend time making adjustments and resubmitting them, I was hoping the community could take a look and offer some guidance.Could someone clarify what might be the specific issue(s) with these images? I'm looking for honest feedback so I can learn and improve my future submissions.I'm attaching a few of the rejected images below.Any tips or suggestions would be greatly appreciated!Thanks in advance for your help.

AI is highly competitive and virtually anyone can generate high-quality headshots today, so most of these have little commercial value. But from a quality standpoint, they are lacking with respect to composition (which is a quality issue). Going forward, think more along the lines of your skater image, which includes action and perhaps even a little suspense due to the cracking ice. But even then, you’ll need to bring out additional details so that it is less discernible as AI and more photographic in detail. The hands, for example, could be improved.

Other thoughts: the three identical rings don’t make a lot of sense and distract from the subject.; there is enough definition between the black jacket and the back shirt being worn by the black woman; the bangs of the Asian woman has some artifacts.

This is among the best AI I’ve seen in this forum. I don’t mean to discourage you, Adobe is saturated with AI and seems to be rejecting regardless of quality, and that’s more than just my opinion. My advice is that you continue creating and find another stock agency, understanding that this tech is advancing so fast, and will continue getting better by the day that anyone can do it. Creative agencies today buying less AI bc they can do it themselves. And it’s a fact that companies like Adobe are focusing AI growth in a business to business model.

Despite that, continue polishing what you’re doing, and stay open minded and vigilant to changes to find your place.

Best of luck!
