 Canon 5ds r, ISO 100, 30mm, original image 50 megapixels.

 

Had total of 13 images, all were declined. Which I have hard time believing. Starting believe adobe is a scam just to get your private info off tax forms.

I am sorry, but the photo is not focused properly and there are some burned out white areas in the leaves.

Locking this.

 

The equipment does not make a picture a good picture.

Please seek expert medical treatment immediately. You're not thinking straight.

 

Adobe Stock is a global market for connecting customers with images they want to buy.  That's all. Either you have images that Stock customers want or you don't.  It's as simple as that.

 

If you can't handle rejection then don't submit here. And please don't insult us with ridiculous statements that could get you banned from this community.

There are artifacts in the cloud reflections in the water. Zoom in and you'll see them.


Adobe is an ethical company; it's rather odd of you to assume they're running a scam here to get your tax ID - just because your images were rejected...

Year ago I submitted 50 images useing a new sigma 60-600mm sport everyone of them were rejected. The images I took with a new canon 70-200LS were rejected. I have tried again and again and they keep rejecting every image.

Surely by now you realize that the equipment you use, no matter how advanced or how expensive, doesn't guarantee the quality of images!

It is crazy. We invest a lot of time in the work and Adobe declines without explanation. This photo is perfect my friend. The proble is that Adobe revisor are not photographers. Decline this photo yesterday

I just don't get it. Do you have to be related to Cindy Sherman?

Hello,

Probably because of the sky, there is no detail there. Perhaps you could crop it out.

The photo is a bit green as well. Think about correcting the white balance.

Just to add, not all 13 images were taken with same camera and lens,. The other was a canon R5 with 70-200 LS lens.
