Hello,

Your type of camera is rather old by today's standards. It has 5 million pixels, which is not a lot.

When enlarged to 100% or a little more, you can begin to see some issues.

I think the main issue here is the quality of the photo when enlarged. The photo sensor is small—1/2.5".

With 5 million pixels, the largest size at good quality is about 8 x 10 ".

Thank you. I guess it's safe to say any pictures from that camera would probably fail Adobe selection.

Did you edit these images? All of the issues noted can be corrected with editing software. I use Adobe Lightroom Classic.

We can't make a determination as to why these assets were rejected at their small size. Submit the images here at the size originally submitted.

Thank you for replying.  My apologies, I tried to do this from my phone, the files are on my computer.  It would be nice if when Adobe sends me to the forum for criticism they allowed me to directly access the uploaded files they declined.  These are the actual files submitted.
