Clarification of technical issues on these images.

Hi

Can I have some more advice please? These images have been rejected on technical issues too. I'm thinking it is focus/sharpness? The Statue's face looks focused on thee chin, but not the eyes? The hand is focused on the thumb but depth of field is too shallow so fingers are not clear?

Thank you in advance for your time and patience!

1. Adobe Stock customers expect the highest visual and technical quality for use in their own projects.

 

2. Nobody buys B&W images.  Adobe Stock customers want full color with neutral white balance.  They can adjust color to their project's specifications in Photoshop or Lightroom, if required.

In addition to the halo that Ralph has pointed out, I think the forearms in the first image are underexposed. The second image seems to have almost nothing in focus, and the finger, or whatever it is, on the far right edge of the frame has been chopped off. Adobe Stock does not accept black and white conversions, per the instructions they've issued to Stock Contributors. The assumption is that Buyers can do that themselves if that's what they're looking for.  Even if both images were NOT rejected for Technical Issues, they might have been rejected for Intellectual Property violations since a Property Release might required for these artworks.

Zoom in on both photos to 150%. On the first you can see a blue halo between the sphere and her forehead. The second photo has artifacts.

Thank you all for your feedback.
What causes the blue halo?
Many Thanks

Perhapse I should add that the Image was taken on an Sony Alpha a57 at ISO 640 1/320 at f6.3 with minimal post processing. So I would not have expected a problem. I would not have thought any dust was on the sensor either.
