New to Stock Photography - Photos rejected and looking for feedback

Hello,

You could try to improve your composition—the daisy is not framed/composed well.

Work on your composition. For a start, read this link about composition.

Composition:

• Stock isn't a photo contest. It's a global stock assets business.
• Find a need and fill it. Everyone submits sunsets & flowers. But nobody submits soda cans & fast-food take-out containers.
• One person's trash could be your best-selling asset.

Before you submit, compare your best quality work with similar Stock inventory to see if it's something Stock actually needs.

Also read your Stock Contributor User Guide.

Good luck.

*Fall' is a really nice image ...

napa has some artifacts in the sky, and might have received an IP rejection due to the statue.
daisy - DOF is too shallow causing parts of the flower to be out of focus. You can't really control that aperture on an iphone. Also, part of the flower was cropped off.

It's not impossible to get iPhone images accepted - I have some in my portfolio. However, they usually need to be taken under ideal lighting conditions. Shoot in RAW, and use Lightroom or some other editing software.

daisy.jpg is poorly cropped. You snipped off the pedals. napa.jpg is over-saturated. sailing: burned out highlights.
