Underexposed, blurry, noisy and perhaps over-saturated. Additionally, sunsets and sunrises (I don't know which this one is) are very over-represented in Adobe Stock already. Yours would have to be technically perfect to be accepted and unique to ever be sold.

It seems to me that Adobe are not looking for creativity, they want commercial appeal. I have sbumitted photos that were perfectly exposed...then rejected on technical grounds. Losing faith in Adobe Stock.

You are 100% right. They will only accept work with commercial appeal that is technically perfect. If you can combine this with creativity done with a clear understanding of the market, you will potentially sell well.  Adobe are not, however, a gallery to take art on the artist's terms.

I think @Jill_C is correct. Underexposed, blurry and noisy.

    Hi,

     

    which reason was mentioned here? The Picture looks overall way to dark and unsharp.

    Before you submit, please review the submission guidelines carefully and compare your work with other Stock inventory. To be accepted, your work should be as good or better than what's already represented in your keyword category.
