Hi, I am new to adobe stock and I uploaded a couple of pictures which - unfortunately - were rejected. Can I please get constructive critique on why that's the case and feedback to improve the quality of my pictures?
Let me guess: quality issues! You should always tell us, what Adobe told you, why they did not accept the pictures.
Horse:
There are exposure issues:
missing blacks
missing whites
underexposed shadows.
The histogram shows the missing blacks (left) and whites (right)
The asset also lacks contrast, but that is a direct consequence of the odd histogram.
In addition, you have applied a lot of noise reduction, making the horse look out of focus. It is well possible that you pointed the focus somewhere else than on the horse's eyes.
Hambourgers:
You have artefacts, due to the high ISO and noise reduction, but I can see still colour noise
.
I also see chromatic aberration.
The logo and the tradename here is an IP violation.
The framing of the picture is terrible. The fat stains on the containers are disturbing. If you would like to do food photography, you should know that this is a highly choreographed art and no element in the picture is there by chance. Your picture is a snapshot of the kind I send to my friends, when we are messaging about what we eat. And even then, I choreograph the items in a way that people get hungry and want to join the meal.
The reason was the quality issue and I can see why the IP violation could be one of them, thank you for that.

Adobe moderators refuse on the first reason they see. That is very efficient. And there is no need to vet the image for additional errors, as it will earn a refusal anyhow. In most of the cases, refusals are immediate, as one error is really jumping into your eyes. Every so often, my first feeling is: it's not correct. That would be enough for a moderator to refuse. Load the image – refuse. Load the image – refuse. Load the image – spend time to look at the details, accept.
