Rejection due to "ARTIFACTS PROBLEM" in a perfectly fine picture?

Hey guys, I am new to Adobe Stock and wanted to see if any of you could tell me what's wrong with this picture in terms of Artifacts? Even if I zoom in, everything looks good. Obviously, the nose in the center is blurry because the focus is on the eyes, so I really hope that this is not the problem!?

I really like this picture and think its much different from all the standard "Blue footed booby" pictures that you can get on the stock websites, so was hoping to get it on sale here!

ARTIFACTS PROBLEM?!

Oh and then another question. My picture of Burj Khalifa in Dubai was rejected due to "INTELLECTUAL PROPERTY REFUSAL" - can anyone tell me the difference to the thousands of pictures of the same building? I do not have a property release, but I only plan on selling it as editorial and am pretty sure that none of the people shooting pictures of the same building got a property release from the emirat?!

Thanks!
Chris

Hi,

I can't see artifacts in this picture, but I think the real problem is that nothing in this picture is really sharp. That would definitely be a reason for refusal.

I am sure it's sharp enough for most people that only would use it on a website and not print it.

I think you should keep in mind that the agency not only sells your pictures for use on websites but also offers them in higher resolutions for printing on paper. In this respect, the image must fulfill all requirements.

Ah At first it feels like what is that creature.   It looks that the reviewer had rejected due to out of focus nose at center. Which feels distracting from other object in focus. Adobe team can clarify better the actual.

And for second one As far as I know Not every one can upload editorial images on adobe. Did you actually uploaded it means Burj Khalifa photo as editorial.

Ah that would be a shame, because I think the nose is exactly what makes the picture good. Hopefully one of the reviewer can help out with some more info. THanks!

THis is too much of the center of the photo so badly out of focus and it does not make it great. You could select the center part and put it through one of Photoshops filters or Camera Raw and bring it into focus - just correct the problem and resubmit it and see if it gets accepted and then you question is answered. Blur - out of focus is never accepted. A client can blur any area they wish.
