Can someone explain why my photo was rejected?

Thank you

Hello,

Firstly, taken with a mobile phone, the picutre quality will never be as good as when taken with a DSLR/Mirrorless camera - due to the sensor size.

Secondly, mobile phones save data in JPG/HEIC (in the case of iPhone), which can lead to compression artefacts.

Thirdly, the exposure in this picture isn't so good for general stock quality.

And of course, composition is a factor. In your photo, not only do you have quality issues but you also have composition issues.

From a compositional standpoint (which is one of the reasons an asset can be rejected, though it's not specifically listed as a quality issue in the generic Quality Issue rejection text) your horizon line is breaking the image nearly in half, rather than being higher or lower, whichever is more pleasing.

i think i get the  point, its not about all quality issues, but also the image composition too basic and their not interest enough

Hi @Launghas ,

If Adobe has no interest in your submission you are informed with a "Lack of aesthetic or commercial appeal" refusal, not a quality refusal.

Hi @Launghas ,

There is an art to capturing landscape images. The tendency is to focus way out, which is what you did. That's not correct. You needed to focus nearer to you. In doing so you'd have eliminated the blur in the forefront.

In addition, to that blur, the photo is also noisy when zoomed in at between 100 and 200%.

I suggest you do a course, or read a book that explains landscape photography.

Best wishes

Do some reading about hyoerfocal distance to find the right focal point for landscape images. Google the topic. You'll find many resources.
