Two of my latest uploads were rejected for "technical issues," and I can't see any reason for this.Would someone want to examine the two photos (attached) and tell me what I'm missing?

Thanks!

If I printed the first one, 90% would be black ink. 😥

The second image is too red.

Hello,

Good shots yes, but the exposure and saturation is a problem I think. Do you think they would print out well?

Thanks to veryone for their sharp analyses. Very helpful, and I'll be more aware of these issues in the future. (The photo of the berries was focus stacked, and the one of the orange was light pained using the Harold Ross technique.)

Funny thing is, however, that my other agencies--Alamy and Shutterstock--both accepted these photos, and Shutterstock tends to me more picky than Adobe.

This is NOT Instagram or Facebook. This is Adobe Stock which is used by professional content creators for commercial projects like posters, brochures, merchandise, print / TV ads, etc... Unlike social media where anything goes, Adobe Stock has strict quality and technical submission standards that must be followed, otherwise images are rejected.

For more on what Adobe Stock expects from contributors, read the links below.

No need to be snooty and condescending about this, Thomas. I've been shooting seriously for decades and have been selling photos for "commercial projects" for all that time, including prestigious magazines. I also have won a good number of highly competitive awards, including Nature's Best and a Wildlife Photographer of the Year winner. In fact, 95% of the photos I submit to Adobe Stock are accepted, and the same thing with my submissions to Alamy and Shutterstock. So please, no lectures on quaity.

The first (orange?) is underexposed and oversaturated. Even if I would consider this image as a pleasant and artistic one, the underexposure should be corrected.

The second has some noise and artefacts:

In addition, borders are razor sharp. And shadows are like black holes with no detail to recover.

The odd texture in this one looks like oversharpening to me, and there is also some clipped parts of the main subject. Histogram reflects the image is underexposed. There also appears to be white spots on the fruit that should be removed before shooting or cloned out.
