Just wondering why this was declined. I’m new to this and would like to get the best advise for uploading the proper images. Thanks in advance

    Hello,

    Exposure is a reason for rejection. Also try to avoid uploading B&W.

    La imagen esta muy bonita, pero no es lo que se busca, la composición no esta muy bien definida para que se a una imagen comercialmente atractiva para diseño, las imágenes en en B&N la fuerza radica en la composición y la jerarquía de los elementos, antes de apretar el botón tienes que analizar si esa imagen tiene algún interés comercial

    Lots of holidays coming up, though it’s probably too late for Halloween. All subjects are welcome, but there are also ones that are oversaturated, such as flowers, icons, abstract backgrounds, clouds, etc. Peruse the database to get a feel for what others are submitting, either for inspiration or to get a feel for what ISN’T already over-represented on Adobe Stock.

    Monochrome conversions are rarely accepted. You also have some quite underexposed areas.

    Check your histogram. Black and white images do get accepted on occasion, but it’s rare. If buyers want a black and white image, they can make conversion themselves.
