Quality Issues

Even though I told you in your last post to use standard formats (1x1,2x3,3:1, etc.) you still are submitting photos that are cropped to unsuble formats. Look at your photos. There are overexposed highlights and underexposed shadows. There are focus problems. There are slanted horizons. You must improve your photography and you must do post-processing.

By the way, we usually do not review assets before they are submitted.

After two refusals, it's time to move on...

You're just spitting into the wind with this.

I would normaly not reply to your inquiry... The pinecone over head is a nice graphic, with the most potential. Too much is off and none will be accepted... All the pictures lack focus, and I suspect you

dragged the photos into new canvases, then expanded the photos... Did you do that? 

I want to help you, but I need to know what are you editing with and what is your process.

Also, give much more attention to your composition and format... why 16x9 if there's no harmony to the composition? Why the out of focus bucket in the background in one of the photos?

Can you get lightroom or photoshop?  Honestly, I would not be doing stock without what these tools can do today. 

You can improve inmensly with some adjustments.

And remember, a great photo starts with your composition, I'm intuitive when I shoot, I don't follow rules of 1/3 or anything that I'm told how is supposed to be. I encoruage you to try that approach, and keep in mind that it requries a lot of observation thru the camera.

Don't get discorage, keep it simple and have fun making mistakes

The second and third images are poorly composed with distracting elements in the background. If the images have already been rejected twice, I wouldn't submit them again. Move on and create other images that have a better chance of acceptance.

Unrecoverable burned out highlights in this example. The others have a distinct blueish cast. The one to the left of this example has a leaning horizon.
