I use to think that Shutterstock had a higher bar to get images accepted. Now I leaning toward Adobe Stock. All 3 of these images were accepted by SS and rejected by Adobe Stock. I would appreciate any insights you have so I can improve my postprocessing.

Thanks, Rob

The first image has numerous lens spots in the sky.

In the second image the rocks are not in sharp focus, and it's a bit underexposed in the shadows.

Imthink the WB is a bit too blue in the 3rd image.

Hi @robc92459028

All three files are underexposed. The first one has a white balance issue.

Best wishes

I feel that this is really a judgement call from the reviewer. Maybe the shadows on the first two are a little dark. The contrast and saturation on the last one are lacking a little. All three are a little soft. But, really, borderline.

Easy, when someone points them out, isn't it.

@robc92459028 ,

I would correct the spots and try that one again. I would also check the camera's sensor. Spots will always be against the sky (or a light uniform surface, like a white wall), especially in higher contrast images.
