Question

What's the quality issue for this picture?

This got rejected for quality issues. But what exactly is the issue? (I’m trying to learn better).

    I think the main subject is a little bit small.

    Was this an actual photograph or a scan? Granted, with the sun in the right position, there might be a bit of a yellow case, but this yellow seems exaggerated.

    It’s a photograph that’s edited in Lightroom. I agree with it looking too yellow. Here’s the original with no edits:

    In any event, I agree with ​@oleschwander that the birds are too far away to be of interest. Also, there are some tree tops at the bottom left corner that could be removed.

    A vast number of photos of the sky are being submitted.
    If there is even the slightest issue, they are immediately rejected.
    Try photographing the same sky, but incorporating different themes.

    Colors of the sky and the birds are too far away.

    Hello,

    Unfortunately, the photo isn’t really of anything that interesting. Bearing in mind Adobe Stock is for commercial purposes, how could this be used? The birds are too small to have any visual impact! And they are not clear or sharp.

    It’s a flawed photo so it won’t be used but I’m thinking for background, printing for wall, wellness, meditation etc

    Noise and the birds are underexposed. There are also artifacts around the birds.
