Photo Rejection Appeal Process

Question

The attached photo was rejected, and I would like to have it reconsidered. This explanation was given: "During our review, we found that your submission closely resembles content already available on Adobe Stock. While some similarities are expected in a large collection, we refuse content that is too repetitive so customers can easily find distinct and relevant content."

My photo is entitles Mount Rushmore at Night. I searched Stock Images and found a total of 4,663 Mount Rushmore pictures, but only 21 that were evening or nighttime photos. I feel my photo stands out as one of the better images in this sub-category, but I understand that my thoughts a very subjective.

Can anyone help me with this?

Had it not been rejected based on similars, I believe it would have been rejected for quality issues. It looks like you've applied some sort of filter, which is expressly forbidden by Adobe Stock.

Reviewers decisions are final. There is no appeals process for rejected assets. Sorry.

It doesn't take much effort to add nighttime visual effects to a daytime photo, if that's what the customer's project requires. That said, feel free to submit your Stock-rejections to other services. Maybe they can use them in ways that Stock can't.

Below is what Stock has to say about similar content.

Hope that helps.
