Rejected photos

Robert as a contributor you need to understand the rules Adobe make. The rules are made for Adobe's convenience, not yours, and to reduce Adobe's costs, not yours. You accepted these rules to become a contributor.

- they can reject any picture

- they will give you a simple reason like "quality issue"

- there is NO APPEAL

- there is NO WAY TO CONTACT THE MODERATOR.

The people in this forum are mostly contributors, many are very experienced professional photographers. They may have had many Adobe rejections themselves, and they have learned. They give up their time to share their knowledge. You can accept their help, or not, but remember they did not make the rules and cannot change them.

Hello Robert,

Please provide a reason for rejecting your recent photo, and specify what is wrong.

Ok😊

Have you thought about your white balance?  Currently, there is a green/yellow cast to the lake photo. I think you should reduce the green by adding more tint (magenta) and reducing the temperature slider by reducing the yellow.

Another point is that the shadows are too dark. They are just solid black. So, you could lighten up the shadows, and increase the blacks a bit more.

Did you sharpen this photo? If so, you may have oversharpened a bit.

I see from the EXIF data, you used a manual setting for the White Balance. This explains why the white balance is off.

Does this answer your question? 😊

We here in the Community Forum are fellow Contributors, not Adobe employees so we have no way of looking into your account to see your rejected images. Please post a few here in full size, exactly as they were submitted to Adobe so that we can evaluate and provide our opinions.

you need to show us the original photo.
