Please let me know what is wrong with this photo?

Hello All again,

 

Hope all is well. 

 

Here is a picture I have taken. I can clearly see what is wrong with it after editing. I am of course refering to the bottom right corner of the image between the roofing and the sky. 

 

If I was to crop it out, do you think the remaining picture is stock worthy?

Also, when cropping do I have to maintain aspect ratio? 

Is there any specific ratio that is recommended? 

 

Additionally, I would love to hear some comments on the quality of the edits made. 

 

 

 

Thank you for contributing to the community. 

Also thank you to the community for contributing.

Are those the same statements? 

 

Best wishes

    Do you see the sensor spots here (right, middle of your two pictures)?

    I won't comment on stock worthiness. It won't probably become a bestseller, but the distribution of the power lines (or are they telecom lines) is special. You can, however, crop your pictures the way you want. What is important (from a commercial perspective) is that the picture looks interesting enough as a small preview to catch a potential buyers' interest. So cropping sometimes makes a picture more appealing. Sometimes, it's editing out disturbing items.

    Hi @therippleshow ,

    I assume both photos are the same - the second photo edited. If I'm correct the sky is too saturated, hence not looking natural. The photo is noisy - both chromatic and luminance. Also there are color fringing. I'm not sure if focus would pass. The edges seem a bit soft.

     

    I would secure a property release for the building due to it's closeness and seem to be a private building. The guideline do say cropped building is ok but there are specification regarding the crop of which I must admit I am not sure. Sometimes i submit and allow Adobe to decide.

    Regarding cropping your frame, you don't have to. You are submitting raw material, not finished product.

    When you crop, you do not have to maintain aspect ratio. However, you need to make sure you do not reduce the file size.

    Here are some other tips that will help you identify errors in your file.

        Thank you for spotting the spots on the picture. I had not paid attention to this as of yet. 

         

        Ok. As I am writing this, I have had a look at the new picturees hat I have taken. They all have these spots. Some are visible more prominently in some pictures. 

        🥲

         

        I am not sure where on the lens setup has this issue.

        If it is the lens indeed or something wrong with the sensor. 

         

        I might have to trouble shoot this extensively.

        Most likely the sensor. If you have a second lens or can borrow one or try another one in a camera store, that will help detetermine the issue.

          In the second photo, at a quick glance I see a halo around all objects touching the sky and two sensor spots on the right side.
