Confused as to why my images are being rejected

New Here ,
Mar 10, 2025 Mar 10, 2025

I've been contributing to Adobe Stock for a while now, and yet I'm always very confused with why some of my best images are getting rejected.  I'm comparing my files and images with others within the same categories and subject matter and to me it seems a bit unfair that they are getting rejected.  Specially when I have meticulously planned out the shoots and made sure that the images meet all of the requirements.  I even see almost identical images to mine selling on Adobe Stock yet mine get rejected.  I would like some more clarification as to why.  Thank you

The sky is overexposed in this one, and could use some dehazing. I also spotted some logos in buildings which need to be removed.

There's a lens spot or sensor spot on this one.

The sky is overexposed in this one, and the horizon seems to be leaning.

011 - Lens flare

005 - Too many dark patches e.g; it is rather underexposed overall:

delasur003 - take note of the sky - no detail - overexposed:

and so on.

These examples are why your photos got rejected.

The night view photo looks beautiful, but when enlarged to 100%, noise is noticeable.

Apply noise reduction appropriately.

 

Also, it's in Adobe RGB, so you'll need to submit it in sRGB.

You tell us why, we tell you the errors.

Looking at Puente...003: the asset is noisy so that would be quality. But there are also a lot of IP issues, including the bridge:

The asset is obviously missing focus, and there is a stain in the image that needs to be corrected:IMG_2873.jpeg

 

(BTW: if you want good critiques, publish less pictures. Checking a lot of pictures takes time, and at the end, the issues may be similar).
