Hi! Was hoping somebody could help review some of my recent uploads that have been rejected for quality?

I have attached 3 examples here

1. and 3. blurry objects on foreground are distracting. 1. over/under exposed spots in picture 2. Artifacts in sky and color noise.

In addition to what has been said:

HODGSON-07155.jpg: a strange picture with a lot of disturbing blurred foreground, ill exposure with blown out sky.

The sky has a strange clipping pattern.

Contrast is missing, you need to lift the shadows, and the person on the veranda needs to sign a model release.

HODGSON-07144.jpg: a lot of noise, nothing is in focus, not even the moon. The picture is heavily underexposed, as shown by the histogram.

 

 

HODGSON-07234.jpg: Underexposed, you must lift the shadows and add to the whites as shown on the histogram:

Contrast is missing.

 

You should pay more attention to your composition. Large blurry patches of something, covering big parts of the picture, are not appealing. You should properly expose your pictures and avoid too much of those flares.  The pictures you posted here are not fit for stock and can't be recovered.

These unedited snapshots all,look like they were taken with a cellphone and do not represent the quality  that Adobe is looking for. Blurry, noisy, underexposed shadows, overexposed highlights, poorly composed, etc. You must zoom in on your images and inspect them very carefully to look for flaws before uploading.

Adobe Stock customers expect the highest visual and technical quality for use in commercial projects.  Read your Stock Contributor User Guide.  And compare your work with other Stock inventory.


Better luck next time. 🙂
