Question

Some of my photo has date display in it due to camera setting, I assume that it is the reason why it is rejected, can I crop the original photo to remove the date , will it be accepted?

    Do you have Photoshop or another graphics editing program? You shouldn’t need to crop; there are editing tools that can remove the dates.

    The dates are one problem and yes you can remove them. However, your photos have other “quality” problems.
    1. The ocean is poorly cropped and the horizon is tilted. The photo also shows noise.
    2. The landscape is poorly cropped and underexposed.

    Hey ​@belindamora1015 

    Keep in mind there are 7+ million ocean blue images 

    A bit of competition. You may be rejected for similar content.

     

    Cheers

    the comment of the reviewer in my photo is technicality, not similar content. I had  my other entry where the reviewer says similar content issue.

    A moderator can only give one reason for rejection out of potentially many. Even if approved, the asset would then be put under scrutiny by another process to determine if there is similar content in the database.

    It is possible to crop the image before submitting.

    However, if you zoom in to 100% to check, you will see a lot of noise.

    There is a possibility that the image may be rejected due to the noise.
