Hi, 

I'm pretty new here, I've been uploading pics and have been having some of my photos rejected for technical reasons. I'm wondering why these photos were rejected? thanks:)

Hello,

I think focus is a problem here. They are not sharp. (There are other issues as well.)

Have a read from Adobe about how to create better photos:

and a brief guide on image quality:

Hi @default22ar07ddzxb4 ,

All photos are out of focus. The first has color noise in the shadows.

Inspect images at 100-300% magnification.  That's when defects are more noticeable.  If possible, correct imperfections in Photoshop or Lightroom.  Otherwise discard them from your collection of suitable Stock photos.

 

The second image has focus problems, a blown out sky and the overall white balance is too green.

Adobe Stock customers expect the highest visual and technical quality for use in commercial projects. See links below.
