Hello community. A series of photos that seemed good to me and that were accepted on other stocks was rejected. Where did I go wrong? Thank you all in advance for your replies.

Hello @Olexandr22522449d3x6 ,

The colour temperature/white balance is an issue in all the examples you posted. They are too yellow. You have to adjust for balance depending on the time of day. I think there are other issues as well, but the colour temperature is most definitely to be taken into account.

The yellow warmth of a photo taken at sunset can be used to great effect, but the type of photo has to support it. Here it does not.

All of these images are so similar that some of them would probably have been rejected as "similar images already submitted". Adobe regards submitting a bunch of nearly identical images as spamming their database.

There is a white balance problem with the pictures. As for other possible defects, I would need to do a more in-depth analysis, that I can't do for the moment.

However, it is not an argument that other providers did accept the pictures. Every provider does its checking according to its own rules.

I understand that acceptance on other resources is not an argument, but the photos seemed good to me.

So do you reject the statement that the white balance is off? Are you experienced in choosing white balance? Did you choose this deliberately for effect?

Just looking at the first three it is apparent to me that the White Balance is off. The photos have a red touch.
