Hello!

I am new to Adobe Stock and uploaded few pictures. Though some of them were accepeted and released, I would like to know why the other few were rejected. At this point, it is more of a curiosity and I want to broaden my knowledge and understanding how to find the more subtle/hidden issues with my pictures. Your help is very appreciated.

Apart from what's been said, anything you submit to Stock must be legally clear for commercial use on posters, billboard ads, TV commercials, magazines, merchandise, etc...  Signed model/property releases protect everyone from possible legal problems later, including you.  😉

 

Take blank release forms with you when you travel.

IMG_1790.jpg - technical issues are overexposed sky and soft focus; however you have multiple issues as well including logos, license plates and recognizable people, which would require model releases and property releases. 

IMG_2114.jpg - chromatic aberration and blownout hot spots. The artwork would be an IP issue; you'd need a property release from the artist.

IMG_2114.jpg - chromatic aberration, artifacts in the sky, blur; IP issues due to recognizable people 

Many images appear technically ok when viewed at small size, however you must zoom in 100-200% and inspect every part of the image carefully.
