Rejected photo

Hello,

There are quite a few quality problems - exposure, and composition for example; as the photos are taken with a smartphone, you have got artifacts, etc.

Also, another very important consideration is the commercial use of these shots. Who would use them and why? What makes them special?

It would be a good idea to read through the Adobe help guides. For instance:

• https://helpx.adobe.com/stock/how-to/tips-stock-image-acceptance.html?set=stock--fundamentals--adobe-stock-contributor
• Contributor handbook
  https://stock.adobe.com/pages/artisthub/pdf/contributor-handbook-2022.pdf

Have a read of this. It's a brief guide on image quality:

As @Nancy OShea mentioned, we are Community Volunteers and not Adobe Employees.  We don't have access to your account or accepted/rejected assets.  We can only review the full sized photos that are posted for us.

Although photos from smartphones are accepted, smartphones don't make great tools for commercial stock photography because of their and small sensor size and limitations such as not being able to adjust the aperture.  It adds extra layers of challenge to something that is already challenging.

It can be equally challenging to learn to assess your images using Adobe's guidelines.  If you are new to stock, this may be helpful: https://helpx.adobe.com/stock/contributor/help/reasons-for-content-rejection.html

Sorry, I have no idea what you're asking.  If your submitted image was rejected, post the full size image here so we can see it.   Nobody here has access to your rejected images.
