Hello! I am a new photographer and I wanted to try my luck publishing images in adobe stock. This image was not accepted. What could be the reason? Any opinions would be appreciated. Thank you!

Hi @MomentumArt ,

The image is lacking sharpness, underexposed, noisy and has a white balance issue.

I'm a fairly decent photo editor, but I had to get help from AI to get the image to a point where additional improvements might be made.

Underexposed, vignetting, noisy and white balance issue. Did you do any editing in this image at all?

Also, the color balance is off and the exposure is too dark.

Since you're using an older EF lens, the resolution is low.
Please add sharpening in Lightroom.

 

The edges of the image are dark.

Please set the lens profile in Lightroom.
Vignetting correction will be applied.

 

The photo is dark, so please brighten it.
