Can anyone help me on the quality issues of my Pictures?

[Mesut Musaoglu]

I tried uploading these pictures to adobe stock, but they were rejected, sadly. My best guess is that the focus is a bit too extreme, though I see that as a stylistic choice rather than a quality issue.

Yes, it's a stylistic choice, but Adobe expects at least something to be in focus, which is not the case in the first few images. You've also cropped too close on most of these, cutting off parts of the flowers. While photographing and editing floral images can be fun and good skills practice, don't even bother uploading to Adobe Stock. There are already many millions of flowers in the database and the chances that yours would ever get noticed or sold are exceedingly slim.

Thanks for the reply!

I am making some original content as well and had these lying around so I uploaded them just in case they might sell. 

Still good advice though!

Kia ora,

Predominately out of focus. This is the main issue. As far as a stylistic choice, I'm afraid I have to disagree; it is a quality issue! There is no style here -sorry! Exposure could also be better. Your composition needs work. The 4th photo - what are you showing here?

Stock photography needs to be useful. This is why your photos got rejected.

Now you've hurt my feelings 😞 /s

Thanks for the reply!

I guess you're right on the cropping and composition. I will take your critique to heart and make better photos now! 😄

Brace yourself for another hard truth:

Adobe Stock's database contains close to 28 million flowers.  The likelihood that yours will be seen, much less sold is very slim.

Before submitting your 5 best pictures to Stock, compare with current inventory to ensure 1) the keyword is not overly represented and 2) that yours is as good or better than what's already there.

Hope that helps.

Whatever stylistic choices you take, Adobe (and I suppose most of the buyers) would call that quality issues. Sorry, but you should read the guidelines and stay with them, if you are eager to work with stock.
