Question

Rejected photos

Hi everyone,

once again, moderators are rejecting more and more of my photos (due to technical quality). After rejection, I try to analyze the photo and find the reason and if possible, make improvements. Unfortunately, in some cases I am not sure what exactly needs to be improved.
I would like to kindly ask this esteemed community for feedback and comments on my rejected photos. I am still learning and trying to improve, so any advice would be very valuable to me.

Hello,

I think all your photos have a green cast, so you ought to try to reduce that a bit, as well as increasing the contrast and so on.

E.g:

I do wonder about the subject matter, though. How can these images be used in a commercial environment?

What is the selling point?

The image can easily be used for articles, blogs, or websites dedicated to nature-related topics, etc. In this particular case – "Stawy Milickie Nature Reserve."

 

Thank you very much for your valuable feedback – it means a lot to me.

The first photo I thought was fine until I imported it into lightroom.

The photo is slightly overexposed and the midtones are a little washed out. Also, the horizon is not quite level and I would bring the horizon down to a Rule of Thirds lower grid line. Also, the white birds in the water should be removed.

The shadows in the last two images that appear from seemingly out of nowhere might have been a factor.

The shadow in the second photo on the right side of the road was cast by a tree that was slightly behind me on my right. Is there any way to reduce or fix it? Or is the photo unusable?

 

Thank you for your valuable feedback!
