Technical issues rejection

Hi @Agus Bacigalupo,

I like your composition of the first and second files. The first file is underexposed in the shadows and over exposed in the highlights. It's not sharp and also there is a sun flair on the lady. I believe a course in exposure would very much enhance the quality of your shots.

Even though the exposure of the second shot is ok, none of your files are sharp. The third file is noisy and of poor composition.

I suggest you take a close look at the Adobe Contributor Guide and these Tips For Getting You Files Accepted. Here are some additional tips you can benefit from a link to where you can participate in some fine photography course.

Best wishes

Making a photo dark is not a method of avoiding the need for a model release.

The photo can be lightened.

It is better to crop the people out.

Welcome @Agus Bacigalupo .  I really like your first photo with your model walking with her dogs across the bridge.  Unfortunately there are no midtones - the highlights are overexposed and the shadows are underexposed.  I suspect your model is in focus, but it is hard to tell with the shadows and the noise.  A couple of composition issues (easily fixable in post processing) :

• Your buildings are askew and appear to be leaning in towards the centre
• The horizon is off and needs to be rotated about 1 degree clockwise.  I know it doesn't seem like much, but it is very noticeable with the lines of the sidewalk and the railing.

These are not technical issues, but would also need to be addressed.  I assume you had a model release for the woman in your photo.  You would also need to clone out any of the logos and other Intellectual Property (IP) identifiers in the image, such as the writing on the bicycles.

The image of the dog again has a nice composition, especially the leading lines of the blanket drawing the viewer's eye to the dog.  The dog however, isn't in very sharp focus - only the dog's left eye has a sharp focus.  In this case, I suspect your depth of field (DOF) is too shallow.  There is a lot of noise again, probably due to the high ISO.  I would also remove the distracting lines in the wall behind the dog.

The image of the violin again has a focus issue.  I think if you were only going to do a selective focus, it might have been better on the strings rather than the dust in the crevice.  There is a lot of noise, and colour noise in this image too.

It is very important to review your images at 100%-200% magnification on a large screen before submitting them.  These technical issues will usually become very apparent to you.  Often when we review images reduced in size to fit on the screen or on a smaller screen such as a tablet or phone, focus and noise issues are not that noticeable.  Take a look at this portion of your image at 100% magnification.

You can see the very small area that is in focus and all of the colour noise in the shadows.

Best of luck with your future submissions.

1. Blown out sky, lack of sharp focus. You need a model release for the woman because she would probably recognize herself in this image.

2.Depth of Field is to shallow, resulting in parts of the face being out of focus. Crop a little tighter to remove that distracting brown edge.

3. This one also has a depth of field issue, and is cropped too close. 

inrecommend uploading only 5-6 images at a time and wait for those to be accepted or rejected so you can learn from your mistakes and develop an eye for the quality level that is acceptable to Adobe stock.
