What could be the problem with this image? For what reason could it be rejected?

An image of a Firework that was rejected.


Files with such fireworks are sent in batches of 30-50 images for moderation. All of them are of relatively similar quality and content (the difference is in colors and shapes). But one batch is accepted almost completely, and another batch is rejected completely for some reason, although there is no difference in quality between the batches. Probably, different moderators evaluate the images with different strictness.

 

What problems can a strict moderator have in such an image? Translucent smoke (fuzzy edges)?

How can I improve such images, what do you recommend to improve on it? What should be avoided?

 

Thanks!

Correct answer Jill_C

You said "Rejected for "Low quality", batches are almost never rejected for "Too similar to previously published content"."

 

Moderators can only select one rejection reason, therefore it's possible that assets had both issues.

 

Some of these images appear to be quite soft and unfocused.

What was the reason given for rejection? If you're uploading upwards between 60 and 100 assets depicting fireworks of "similar colors and shapes," you might be submitting too many similar images. But I can't say for sure without seeing the other assets.

    Here are more pictures from the rejected batch. They are all different shapes like this (of course, many of them are heart-shaped for Valentine's Day, but they are still different) and slightly different colors.

     

    Rejected for "Low quality", batches are almost never rejected for "Too similar to previously published content".

     

    Maybe it's something else in the pictures themselves?
