I'm confused about what the quality issues are for this pic. I don't see any focus, over processing, or artifact issues.

    Accept it's a bad image in every aspect and move on. I hope your thousands of accepted images are a lot better ..!

    Apart from focus and lighting issues, the color balance is off.  To my eye, there's too much bluish tint.  And the deer has a purple backside.

      Hello,

      I'm afraid your focus isn't sharp on the deer. ideally, it should be sharp and the deer is a little fuzzy.

      The composition could also be better. it comes across as a snapshot, and not sure how worthy it could be commercially. There are tons on Adobe Stock, and yours falls a bit short.

      Whether one thinks it is soft or isn't composed to one's liking is irrelevant. I think too many photos are over sharpened or the contrast is too strong. It all depends on the buyer. There are many reasons for purchasing a photo (projects, websites, vacation memories, ads, etc.). I've had over 3600 photos accepted by Adobe, and I've sold 620. Some were initially rejected, but I resubmitted them after a few tweaks or doing nothing at all and they were accepted. It seems quite arbitrary. Of course, some were seriously flawed after more careful inspection. That's reasonable. Some I never would have predicted were sold multiple times. The only good reasons for rejections are blatant problems.

      Of course, focus and composition ARE relevant to Adobe Stock and to their Buyers! 

      If you persist in resubmitting previously rejected images without having repaired the issues, you can be accused of spamming the database which is reason for account suspension.

        Again, a little on the soft side.
