Hello, 

I have just started my journey with stock photos and I got rejected because of quality issues. Could you tell me what do you think is the reason for not accepting this photo? Is it possible to edit it in a way it can be accepted?

Regards,

Masking that and applying noise removel will help.

And personally, I'd remove the people. They could also require a model release, as both individuals might recognize themselves.

Personally, I would keep the people, but they may effectively need a model release.

I think it's underexposed.

It's small and hard to see, but it would be better to remove the logo on the bag if possible.

Yes, definitly remove that logo. If it is not to recognize it does add distraction.

Too blue and underexposed.
