I find the Illustrative Editorial collection tough to figure out. I hate that the rejection reason is only a standard form letter and not helpful at all.  I uploaded this image (See attached image) which has been rejected, I then search the Adobe database and notice other images from the same location. So, my qustion is Why me?

    Interesting.

    So the billboard with people in it might be considered as people in the image.

     

    I'll give that a try and see how it plays.

     

    Thanks,

    kathy

    That's what I suspect... I suppose the moderator considers people as being people... 😄

    Hello JG,

    Adobe sent me a standard rejection note for editorial:
     

    Thanks for submitting your file for review.

    Unfortunately, during our review we found that this file does not meet the Adobe Stock’s Illustrative Editorial Guidelines.

    We are looking for imagery intended to illustrate articles on current events and news, focused on conceptual imagery using real brands and products to convey strong ideas.

    The most common cases for rejection from that collection are:

    • - The file includes identifiable people.
    • - The file is news or documentary editorial.
    • - The file did not have a strong editorial concept.
     

    Other reasons may apply, to learn more about the reasons Adobe Stock may decline certain images, including more information about the Illustrative Editorial collection 

    File ID: 350995990

    I noticed other files with same theme on adobe:  file #  333830044    332794534

    Hi Kathy,

    After a careful look at the information you provide, including the example links (thank you for that), I believe It was rejected for two main reason. The photo is very crowded and does not project a clear-cut subject. Also the images must be upright. 

     

    The images you use as examples, if you notice the subjects are upright. Also you can clearly identify subject element. It could be about the sign, or the rain. The other, it is clear that the sign is the subject.

     

    Please take a look at the following guideline:

    Best wishes
