Question

Please help! Why won't Adobe accept my pictures?

Hi All!

New community member and first poster!  Adobe has said it can't accept two of the photos I've submitted last night out of approx 30.  All of them have been rendered the same and so I'm not sure why these two were highlighted and not the others.  Or these are the first two that have been reviewed and all of them will follow suit once they also are reviewed (fingers crossed it's not the case!).

 

Can you make any suggestions as to why?  

 

Thanks!

Hello,

The background is distracting:

and it isn't very sharp.

Other picture, lacks contrast as well as out of focus petals:

 

These images I think, also don't have a strong impact. The composition is not very good.

I personally think these photos look great. Please be sure to update this thread if Adobe gives you any response as to why this happened.

The image links don't seem to work, unfortunately. Anyway, first things first: 

(1) did you read Adobe's submission guidlines in full first?
(2) what is the specific rejection reason? This is very important.

Thanks for your reply!  I did read them yes and believe I followed the submission guidelines in full.  The images are of a high enough quality for prints so not really sure.  I've embedded them below.  As for the reason this is the copy I saw:
