These images (along with others) were all rejected due to quality issues. Please advise on why this might be happening and what I can do to increase the quality of my work.

I think the barn/ruin is the more interesting photo.  But it will need a lot of retouching to make it pop.

I'm not sure how much time & effort you want to put into this.

See current Stock inventory for comparison.  Adobe Stock Barn Ruins

IMG_20230313_153805_230.jpg - hazy, overexposed and lacking contrast. The composition would have been improved by backing up or zooming out to get more of the building into the frame.

ocument preview of IMG_20230207_183544_502.jpg - Noise, chromatic aberration and white balance are some of the issues. Shadows are underexposed and sky is overexposed.

Hello,

Generally speaking, the actual quality is poor.

Lacking contrast, exposure, composition, lack of sharpness and so on.

Read about composition/exposure and general help guide from Adobe as well - it's a good start:

Exposure:

Composition:

Also what is really important is thinking about its commercial use. What can people do with this? How can people use this commercially?

 

Adobe Stock is not Instagram!

Hi,

 

the first one seem to be unsharp and way to less contrast overall. The second image has a overexposed sky and therefore to much shadows on the rest.

Before you submit, please review the submission guidelines carefully and compare your work with other Stock inventory. To be accepted, your work should be as good or better than what's already represented in your keyword category.
