Looking to find out if I have technical issues or if not marketable images

All shots taken at sunrise should I eliminate the appearanceof the time of day by upping my exposure

By @LarryDC55

You need to expand the range of the histogram. You do not need to boost the shadows. The problem with sunrise/sunset images is that the exposure is difficult to get right. But a correct exposure needs information in the whole spectrum of the light. The mood is determined by the midpoint. If the midpoint is more to the left, you have a darker picture, if the midpoint is more to the right, your picture is lighter. The art is to get the balance right.

Quality issues means that there are quality issues. Commercial appeal is for assets that they think are not marketable.

Commercial appeal rejection I never seen

It is used infrequently. I think I've seen it twice in the nearly 4,000 images that I've uploaded... It kind of stings to get such a rejection, but I've learned to just shrug and move on. 🙂

Over all bad lightning. In the first picture, the reflection in the window does not match the trees in the area and the light seems wrong. In the second picture, it is the markings on the camper. In the third, there are oddities around the electrical connection and the sun-artwork on the cushions inside.

If the Moderator thought the images were not marketable, they would have used the "no commercial appeal" rejection code.

Camper-9 - underexposed, chromatic aberration

Camper-10 - also underexposed

Camper-7 - almost a full stop underexposed. Take a look at the histogram.

Yes, you can retain the "sunrise look" but still increase the exposure.

All underexposed with a green color cast. You might also require property releases.
