Request for technical feedback-AI-Request for Technical Feedback – AI-Generated Botanical Stock Image

Hello everyone!

 

I'm a new Adobe Stock contributor, and this is my first AI-generated image submission.

 

Unfortunately, my image was rejected under "Quality Issues."

 

The image is a tropical botanical arrangement featuring Monstera and palm leaves in a ceramic vase, with a warm beige background and natural lighting.

 

I would really appreciate your honest feedback, especially regarding:

 

1. Image sharpness and focus.

2. Possible AI-generated artifacts or unnatural details.

3. Lighting and exposure.

4. Texture quality and excessive smoothing or filtering.

5. Any other technical issues that might make this image unsuitable for Adobe Stock.

 

I generated this image using an AI image generator at 3584 × 4800 pixels.

 

I'm trying to understand the quality standards better so I can improve my future submissions.

 

Thank you for your time and constructive feedback!

    This is what you’re competing with in Stock inventory. 

    https://stock.adobe.com/search?k=leaf  80 million results

    https://stock.adobe.com/search?k=leaves  81 million results

    https://stock.adobe.com/search?k=bouquet+leaves  6 million results

    https://stock.adobe.com/search?k=botanical+leaves+decor 2.7 million results

    https://stock.adobe.com/search?k=leaves+pottery+vase  63K results

     

    Quality issues aside, you run a high risk of refusal for “similar content.”

    1. Find things that Stock is in short supply of.
    2. Create highest quality content to fill that need. 

     

    Examine closely at 100-300% magnification. 

     

    Hope that helps.

    Okay this is a lovely image. Definitely keep the plant complete. 
    You may want to play w the hue/ saturation, exposures, colour and so on in Photoshop or Lightroom.

    Things that work:
    Definitely keep the image vertical, provide a bit of space for copy to the left & the top, and keep the warmth.

    The image has been enlarged too much, resulting in a loss of quality.
    Please zoom to 100% size and check the image before submitting.

    The main subject is cut off.
    Having sufficient margin around the subject makes the image more versatile for various design applications.
