Did you read your Stock Contributor Guide?  There's much important information there to help you.


Adobe Stock customers expect the highest visual and technical quality for use in commercial projects.

 

Before submitting a few of your best imagers, compare your work with other Stock inventory.  If your work is as good or better than what's already there, go ahead and submit it.

As a side note: you did not answer our question: is this an AI-generated file?

Kia ora,

What may be wrong with this picture?

Well, a few things actually!

Underexposed in the shadows, which has been pointed out. The shadow area is just black. There should be some detail here.

Secondly, the trees are blurred out. There is some vignetting in the corners. The overall layout of the picture also gives me the impression that it is AI created. Is it? It doesn't look quite like a 'real' photo. You should mention that it is AI generated when you submit the asset.

And:

Indicates AI.

This is why it got rejected under quality issues!

I think you're right about it being AI. That was my first thought when I enlarged and inspected it.

There is a clear exposure problem:

 

And you also have several artefacts, that make it difficult to get this through.

Looks like generative AI, if you ask me.

thx, maybe something happened when I tried to resize it. I used an AI tool for that. I will try with just plain photoshop.

You should never resize assets! That is not allowed and does not lead to better pictures.

Don’t: Enlarge files.

It's underexposed in the shadows.
