Hello, I submitted this photos of poinsettias a few months ago and it was rejected because it claimed I had similar images already submitted. I submitted the poinsettias with some other flower photos, but none of them were poinsettias. I retitled the file and made sure the keywords were appropriate for the type of flower and resubmitted it. It has again been rejected, but this time as a "non-compliant" image. I've read the description of what that should mean, but my image doesn't fall into any of the described reasons for non-compliance. I don't have similar images submitted, it has appropriate keywords, a model release is not required... Any ideas?

I may be wrong, but it also "non compliant" if the same image is resubmitted unmodified without resolving a problem?

Adobe's reviewers are not botanists, and one red plant may look much like another to them.

The image was resubmitted with a clarified title and improved keywords. The keywords and description make clear what it is. I don't expect the photo reviewers to be botanists or architects or doctors or to have any particular subject matter expertise. That's what the file info data is for, right? I do expect that if a buyer wants a photo of a poinsettia for a Christmas card, they can find one without having to wade through photos of tulips.

Adobe Stock contains 100 pages of poinsettia images.

That said, I suspect the reviewer may have simply checked the wrong box. It looks like this should have been rejected for Technical reasons do to focus issues rather than non-compliance.
