Hey, I am trying to fihure it out why my images got rejected. It's difficult as there is no specific feedback. Non of this is AI generated. Any tips would be hugely appreciated.

 

Thanks

If they are not AI generated, then they are 3D-rendered.

 

The three last (frames) expose a lot of noise. You need to get that to go away, either by rendering differently or with post-production.

 

The three heads are basically three times the same asset with different colour filters. Render the head correctly once and put it in the database, buyers will create their own filtered images if they need that. The pattern here:

could also constitute a quality issue. The heads would be of more use with a transparent background.

 

Your first is noisy and exposes partially aliasing. It is ill “exposed”. I do not know if that could be a disqualifying parameter. It's a nice piece of art, but I fear that as that, it won't make it into the database. Adobe stock is not really an art gallery.

Honestly I agree with many previous posters. I see no commercial value in any of them. The busts, maybe, but they are heavily filtered and that's a rejection by default. Also the frames have that overpowering shadow which is just too much. A tip as a fellow contributer, maybe would be much better if you could take a high quality photo of all those framed pictures and post them as separate work. I really like a few of them as concept art.

Framed: If the asset is a 3D render, the artwork is either a texture or is completely rendered in 3D. The frames and the images don't exist as this, except if the 3D artists did recreate the reality.

 

I agree with the use of filters.

What is the rejection reason? The Header is enough.

Hey, sorry about the multiple posts. 

 

The reasons are Quality, and Non-Complaint Image

I agree with @RALPH_L RALPH_L, there is no commercial value in any of these images. And submitting the same image with different filters could be construed as spam.

Hello,

Don't use any filters - it looks like you used solarisation in the bust shots. For the pictures, you have shadows, so this affects the overall quality. Also, you need to think about the commercial value of these. How can they be used commercially? What concept do you want to show?

Adobe Stock is all about commercial use!

Things to consider are "commercial value", "the use of filters", "rights of ownership" and "depth of field".

Hey thank you for the answers that really helps! 

 

Commercial Value 

I still believe there is a commercial value to them eg. the bust could be used as a background for a poster. The abstract 3D rendering also could be used as some sort of background. 

Filters 

I get it - no filters. But I thought if someone is lookiing for a specific colour combination I could provide different image variations of the same image. That was my thinking. 

Ownership 

All images were fully created by me.

Quality 

I am surprised that the shadow would infuence the overall quaility of the image as other very similar images got accepted. pls see the image
