Adobe Stock Quality Issues rejection

[zajka]

Recently, I've come across Adobe Stock and decided to upload a couple of photos. Sadly, all of them were rejected, the reason being Quality Issues.

I'd be very grateful for some more details explaining what went wrong so I could improve it next time :))

Hello,

Sorry, but there are quite a few problems - focus, 2nd photo is blurred - camera shake I suspect, composition and so on.

I think you should start by reading the Adobe help guide on taking photos for stock.

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

• https://helpx.adobe.com/stock/how-to/tips-stock-image-acceptance.html?set=stock--fundamentals--adobe...
• Contributor handbook

Focus and lack of contrast in the first photo. The second is camera shake. The fourth is poorly cropped and needs an IP release. The fifth is also focus, poorly cropped and the shadows are underexposed.

@ricky336 @RALPH_L Thank you both!

Sorry, actually the 2nd one made it in. My bad.

Congratulations. But that's astonishing! I would have refused it. I've seen by far better pictures that have been refused.

If you are new to stock, you should consider these resources: https://helpx.adobe.com/stock/contributor/tutorials.html

I hear you. I've read it all, thanks!

You're welcome.

1. Depth of field is too shallow and it's cropped toomclose

2. I agree with @Abambo  - this one should have been refused because the blurry fence posts are distracting and shadows are underexposed 

3. Underexposed sections 

4. Depth of field is too shallow, underexposed shadows and a couple of blown highlights

Hi @zajka,

The first image is out of focus. 

The second image forefront objects are out of focus and is distracting.

The third has aqua color fringing around the edge of the leaves. It is particularly visible around the leaves on the right of the image.

The fourth image is not completely in focus and also has IP issues. You needed to remove all the texts from the building.

The fifth image is not completely in focus and has noise grains.
