1054: you have applied one or more fancy filters, to make the picture look soft and an to apply a strong vignette. The picture holds a lot of noise and is not very sharp. In addition, the ID number needs to get edited out. The white balance is to cool.

 

2085: many many artefacts.

Again the picture is over processed. The power lines need to go, especially because all the processing you applied made them partially disappear.

 

Your other pictures are also over processed, not correctly exposed, contain artefacts etc etc. Please read the contributor manual before posting other pictures, or you will experience failure after failure.

 

The pictures are not to be recovered to a stage, where they can be accepted. Even if you still have the originals, I doubt that they would meet the quality requirements after some light processing.

Hello,

The images as they stand will not be accepted by Adobe. The overall quality is just too poor, I'm afraid.

For example:

The cloning here is poor.

Secondly, the images are all too cooked!

Nice artistic approach but, not what stock is looking for. For a stock photo your exposure is off. The shadows are underexposed and most highlights are overexposed. The darker areas are also quite noisy.  Also, as in the first photo, there are IP issues.  Be carefull that colors are not oversaturated and that horizons or horizontal lines are level.

Hi, they tell you the reason when the are not accepted.  Did they say quality, or intellectual property?  I think several of the photos are quite dark.  The one with the airplane and power lines looks like the highlights are blown out.  In my experience Adobe wants a good tonal range.  Blown out highlights, or solid blacks can get photos rejected.  The colorful cityscape might be a little over saturated/processed for their taste.  It has a strong hue, but it could be argued that's an artistic effect.  You have lens flares in some of the photos.  I think they generally don't care for those.  Lastly, I believe there is an IP issue with the one showing the wing of the plane.  You'll need to clone out the identification number painted on the wing.  Best regards, John
