Question

What is wrong with this image that makes you reject it?

I’m getting photo rejected for quality issues and for “potential” breach of intellectual property without any further or specific explanation. I have have no idea which qualities with the image you base your rejection on, further is there nowhere to contest or answer out any potential intellectual property issues. 

What am i supposed to do?

    Stock Reviewers’ decisions are final. There is no appeals process except to fix the problems & resubmit under a new file name. 

     

    Keep in mind that Reviewers can check only one box per submission. Even if there are multiple reasons for refusal, the examination ends at problem #1.  Check your work carefully before you re-submit. Eliminate any and all possible reasons for refusal.

    Good luck.

    We’re contributors like yourself, no Adobe. You need to post the image in question, as we have no access to your rejected images.
