Please may I know the reason of the rejection, in order to avoid mistakes in the future. I reduced the photos to meet the size limit.

In the 3 Doric column images, the White Balance is a bit too blue, which is most evident in the shadowy areas. In keeping with the comment from @Test Screen Name I would also take the time to erase the ropes. The last image of an interior courtyard is a bit too dark in the shadows. Lifting the shadows in those areas, in particular the foreground mosaic floor, reveals a lot more detail.

Agreed, what was the reason for rejection. For two of the pics though - if you were a stock customer looking for a doric column - a timeless piece of history - would you want one with a modern rope barrier in front? This makes it a less than perfect composition.

Thanks for your reply! Also, in addition to the rope barrier, I think there is also an IP issue - see under Locations, venues, monuments, and landmarks. However, I have seen photos of the same columns from the same location in this stock. Am I right?
