I haven't found anything like it, even one of my dogs has just improved with AI

 
Correct answer Nancy OShea

You're competing with over 11 million commercial-quality dog images.

Even if it's accepted, this will be a low-percentage sale due to so much competing inventory.

Not sure what commercial value your AI image would have. If this is what you submitted, the picture quality is too dark & pixelated.

 

This is what Stock has to say about Quality & "Similar Content."

 

Hope that helps.

Not OP, but does similar content refer to other sellers' content on the site or your own portfolio? Because the initial paragraph on rejection suggest it's the website as a whole, but the help page suggests it's within your own photos. Having had a few photos rejected for this reason this puzzles me as I have zero photos of the kind I'm trying to sell, but I did submit them all in the same batch. Shouldn't then 1 be accepted and the rest rejected?

It's based on ALL content in Stock inventory. Try using more unique keywords & titles.

Many of the "similars" rejections don't make sense, but unfortunately there's nothing we can do about it. I think the dog image should have been a quality rejection based on the white balance.
