Warum wurden fotos abgelehnt

The shadows were too dark, so I tried lifting them.
The photos now have a warmer feel to them, don't you think?
There’s text on the key, so it might get rejected due to IP issues.
Also, the framing itself might be deemed amateurish.

Lifting the shadows creates a brighter impression.

If you look closely at the sky, you can see some mottling.
Did you use HDR merging?

It is unnaturally blurred.

IP issue

The green fringe stands out.

Did you submit these with a property release? Some or all of these images would probably require one. The moderators can only select one reason for rejection,

Did you submit with the white borders? Images with borders are not accepted.

Hi Daniela!  Your composition is just Wonderful, there’s a story in every photo that conveys feelings to the viewer. There is a bridge you will need to cross… and perhaps you have not even thought about. It’s switching your personal perspective of commercial and fine art photography, and that is It’s literally a mindset issue.  Both fine art and commercial photography demand strong composition, vision, and skill. The main difference is intent and audience. The best photographers often move fluidly between both worlds. Shooting stock It’s a different kind of creative reward: knowing your work is useful, reaches a wide audience. In stock photography, strong composition becomes both an artistic skill and a commercial discipline.  

I am struggling sharing my opinions… because these photos are wonderful as they are. 

My best advice is that you take on a mindset of shooting for Daniela first, then you shoot for the buyers.

Some key points you want to keep in mind are:

-Leaving negative space for text overlays

-Shooting both horizontal and vertical versions

-Creating versatile, clean compositions rather than highly stylized or personal ones

-Prioritizing universal appeal over purely artistic expression

Other important things to remember is having more depth of field, if anything just to avoid adobe’s AI prescreening making it think your work is out of focus. Maybe when you become very successful selling and shallow depth of field is your style you can do whatever you’d like.

How long have you been shooting photos and did you just start shooting stock? 

Don’t stop! Cheers!

If possible, I would like to check the image in its original size (before downscaling).
If the file size is too large to post to the community, you can convert it to WebP format beforehand or use an external cloud service like Google Drive.

Hallo liebe Community

Ich habe meine ersten 8 Bilder hochgeladen (Serie Alphütte), leider wurden alle abgelehnt. 

Könnt Ihr mir bitte helfen, was habe ich falsch gemacht?

Ganz lieben Dank

The major thing I see through all photos is a soft focus. I feel that they need sharpening. Dis you take them with a telephone camera?
