Hi @Giovanni5E9C ,

These are nice mushrooms. However the bushes hide their beauty. Therefore I agree with @Abambo, the foreground is too cluttered. Also the picture has excess noise/grains.

Best wishes

Hello @Giovanni5E9C , for one you need to sharpen the photo, darken your highlights and lighten up the shadows.

I appreciate your suggestion, but since I am a frequenter of the woods and I have my own vision of nature, I consider your modification "unnatural" ... your intervention takes away a certain poetry from the original image. Of course that's my opinion! 🙂

I think your opinion is a good one. However, if you want to produce commercial photography, it has to match the client's wishes, not your own...

Adobe TOLD you why. What did Adobe say? Don't make us guess, it would be wasting your valuable time!

No, Adobe gave you a rejection reason: Reasons content is rejected at Adobe Stock. That reason is important for us so that we do not have to guess.

 

If I'll have to guess: Technical issues.

 

I would say the image is underexposed, may have a wrong white balance and especially important, it has a cluttered foreground, which makes your main subject less appealing.

 

If you compare your picture to the thousands of entries of a similar subject, you will find probably your picture relatively weak... But as I said, this is only guesswork.
