Hi @cs.istvan ,

You need to zoom in on you images to between 100 and 200% to inspect them for issues. 

The first image has noise grains, color noise, color fringing, is under exposed and the perspective needs correcting. 

Your colors should be smooth.

The second file is also noisy, not sharp on the edges and has a green tint.

The third photo has too much of a high highlights and also has color fringing.

The fourth photo is underexposed and details are lost in the shadows.

Tone done the exposure of the fifth image a bit.

The sixth photo has blur caused by either camera shake of slow shutter speed on a windy day.

Best wishes

Jacquelin

Check your histogram. Too much pure black. Also, leaning verticals.

Thank you very much, especially for the histogram idea.

But this is a perspective distortion that I see in a lot of approved images.
I was shooting on the floor, so it's intentional, and it's quite difficult to take a picture with parallel verticals from this position.

The leaning verticals issue is probably a matter of how picky the moderator is who is reviewing your assets. Myself, I don't leave anything to chance anymore. Bottom line, it's something that can be corrected.

Hello,

'faoletes' -- you need to correct the white balance; it is too green.

gramofonok - perhaps IP (Intellectual Property) issues, composition... 

When you take photos for stock, you need to know what you want to shoot and its purpose. What will people use it for? The subject needs to be clear and to show a concept.

For the nighttime shot - again, correct the white balance/colour temperature, as well as the vertical lines on the monument.

E.g.:

 

Some info about white balance.

Üdv István! Nekem két hete egy napon belül kivétel nélkül mindent visszadob! Olyan fotót is, amit már egyszer elfogadott. Nem értem.....:-(

Szai Mari! Köszi szépen a gyors visszajelzést! Én teljesen új vagyok itt, de ahogy átnéztem a témáimban a kint lévő, befogadott anyagokat, nem látom az érdemi különbséget. Igaz, nem is látom teljes felbontásban a képeket, de azért van néhány hajmeresztő darab, amihez nem kell a teljes felbontás, hogy lássam hogy távolról sem "tökéletes". Nem vagyok profi fotós, simán elképzelhetőnek tartom, hogy elbénáztam valami akár mind a 30 képemnél, de azért jó lenne tudni, hogy mire gondolhatott a költő, mert ez így eléggé deprimáló.

Én hetek óta teszek fel 4-5 fotót, nézem a keresett témákat, igyekszem
megfelelni, de mindent, mondom mindent! visszadobnak. Ami azért is furcsa,
mert tavaly egy hirtelen ötlettől vezérelve feltettem kb 45 képet, mindet
elfogadták! Igen deprimàló.
