I uploaded illustration photos and these are two of them which were rejected for technical issues. I would appreciate if anyone provide suggestions of reasons behind rejection.

Thanks

There is colour banding:

…and the designs are not sharp. If you look at them as “photos”, they are underexposed.

I'm not sure what commercial value these abstracts have as Stock imagery. Even if accepted, it's unlikely to make much in sales. The competition is fierce. Adobe Stock's database already contains millions & millions of high quality backgrounds & wallpapers. See below.

Hi,

These images are small, so I assume they are not the actual files you submitted, which makes acurately assessing tecnical issues difficult.

That said, neither looks really sharp, which might be reason enough for rejection.

In the second one in particular, there are artifacts and banding in the gradients:

But again, hard to say if those are problems in these pictures only, or in the full-res ones that you submitted.

Hope that helps,

Michael

Hi, thanks for your quick reply, I'm not sure why the attachments does not seem to be as uploaded. I reviewed my message and the photos seem to be right. I appreciate your opinion, but maybe it will be more helpful if you see the correct photos. is there any other way to show my photos?

Thanks

Hi,

If you insert pictures using the button in the toolbar above, it should be fine.
