Hello everyone,

I’d like your opinion on a picture that was rejected for quality issues, along with several others from my latest upload. Both attached images are AI-generated.

2025-12-12_0025 was accepted.
2025-12-14_0021 was rejected for quality issues.

In my opinion, the rejected image is much better in terms of detail, sharpness, and anatomical accuracy. Why do you think the second one was turned down?

Thanks!

Thanks for your answers. I'll embed the images. The resolution will be lower. The first one was rejected, the second one accepted (already downloaded twice).

There is no reason to embed a lower resolution image, but anyway:

The question is not, why the first one has been refused, but why the second one has been accepted. Both are exposing quality issues.

The first: check the skin, which is absolutely bad. You could address this, however, by doing some postprocessing. That's not difficult. You can check youtube tutorials on how to process the model's skin.

The second one has a really bad texture with the jeans. If I would buy that one, I would return it immediately. If someone is looking for a nice picture for their website, then the quality will do. In print it will be catastrophic. BTW: handling 2 paint rollers is mostly nonsense.

Due to forum glitches, I can't view attached files. And I won't risk downloading untrusted files, sorry. See link below for an alternate way to embed images into forum posts.

Assets are randomly assigned to the first available Reviewer. The refusal & approval may have come from different people.

You should also be submitting your non-transparent background images as jpgs, not pngs.

Please check it at 100% magnification on your PC monitor.
The image is blurry.
This is a way for anyone to check their work before submitting.
