Quality issues for my pictures

Could anyone help me figuring out how to get mobile-shoot picture approved on here? I uploaded many and only half of them very accepted.

There's a world of difference between snapshots taken with a phone camera & high quality Stock photos that are purchased for commercial use. That's not to say you can't get decent images with a phone but it's much harder due to the equipment's limitations. If you're serious about photography, start saving for a good entry level camera (new or used), a couple of lenses & a tripod.  You'll also need some external lights if you shoot indoors. Enroll in some photography courses & join a photography club.  Go on field trips & practice, practice, practice. 

 

Meanwhile, read these links:

Before submitting to Stock, compare your work with current inventory to see if it's as good or better than what Stock has.

 

Hope that helps & good luck.

All this said: it is possible to submit phone pictures, but the quality criteria are the same for all, regardless of the camera you use. You will earn refusals for a Hasselblatt or a Chinese smartphone with a bad camera if your assets do not meet the requirements.

Hello,

Photos taken with a smartphone are not suitable for Adobe Stock, because they lose quality when enlarged. Small sensors, as it is on a smartphone,  cannot produce high-resolution images that can be printed on a large scale. Smartphone photos are only good for social media and small screens.

The reasons for rejection are most probably to do with quality.

Easy. The ones that were not approved have to be at least as good as the ones that were approved.

If you would upload one or two of the rejected photos we could probably tell you what is wrong.

There is noway we can give you advice without seeing the rejected image.

Here's one example with your cliff photo. There are dehazing issues in the top right corner. I dehazed the background and opened up the shadows over all in the tree. A two minute sloppy job, but these are issues that could have been the reason for rejection and I suspect all the rejected images could probably be in need of some post-processing.
