This photo was rejected, what was the reason for this?

Hey ​@PdK Photography 2024 It’s a cool image.
there are a few distractions that could be removed.
The rain droplets might be causing an issue as well. Users like clean images that would reflect the heron clearly.
There might be an issue with the background… the Heron blends into the background.

It's a beautiful bird. I live in Florida and have hundreds of them in my backyard. But quite honestly, lake birds don't sell and are very rarely accepted. 

This low-res preview is too small & too blurry to critique.

Hello,

The cropping is a bit tight.

Adobe Stock moderators review images at 100% magnification.
If the image is too small, they cannot verify the reason for rejection.

Based on this image alone, the only issue that can be identified is the need for lens peripheral illumination correction.

You need to post the full-sized version. We can’t tell much from the thumbnail. Bear in mind there is a 5MB upload limit, so you may have need to reduce the image to some degree prior to posting.
