Hi all,

Would you give me some feedback on the following image that has been rejected with no Focus reason?

Thanks!

matteo1241282 greetings,

I am sad to say this charming photo is almost completely out of focus. A small part in the very center has a fairly good focus. If you look at this at 200% magnification, you will see the blurred edges on everything.

It will serve you well to avoid this sort of rejection if you will spend time reading the Adobe Stock guidelines and look at the section that addresses the focus and quality of the work. Kind regards, JH

Me too, I had pictures refused because they were out of focus. When I looked at them at 100%, I saw that the moderator was right. If you look at a picture at reduced size it is sharp. What you need to do is to examine your pictures and to look at the point of interest at 100. If it’s not sharp select it out. You may keep the picture for your own joy. But it is not suitaable for stock. After some time you get an eye for this. And then you will have a much lower refusal rate.

    Hello,

    I'm afraid that Joanh is right. Your picture is out of focus. See here in these examples:

    I guess the main subject is the snow on the branches so they should be in focus. Perhaps your camera missed focus.
