Hello! My photos were not accepted due to quality issues. Can anyone tell me what's wrong with them? I'm new to stock. I want to get a better understanding of this 🙂

Short answer: They're not suitable for commercial use. 

Stock customers want high quality commercial content for use in magazines, books, product labels, TV commercials, movies, games, t-shirts, tote bags, etc... 

 

Compare your best work with what Stock is selling.  

As a customer, which would you buy?

I have to agree. Other than depth of field being a problem, mthe photos are not well cropped and show no specific subject matter and because of that, they have no commercial value.

Hello,

In my opinion, the composition could be a lot better. The photos are not compelling.

What point do you want to get across?

The 'quality issues' also include composition.

Hi Julia, I have mixed feelings about your photos. Taking aside the demand value of your photos, the photo pushing the stroller immediately goes to the guys thumb. The second photo is more complicated to understand the reason for the rejection. Some will say is the lack of focus, and I think it's on point. I suggest you color correct, remove the magenta cast, add contrast and try resubmitting in a couple of weeks. 

Become familiar with the latest Photoshop and Lightroom AI features, in a few seconds you can fix issues, you will love the results and the time saved.

Have a great week.
