Crisp picture, no filters, $5000 glass, is your computer broken?!

The photo is underexposed.  What you most likely consider an artistic look and shot purposefully, Adobe most likely considers a quality issue for being underexposed.

I like the shot and would enjoy seeing a print of it, but I'm not sure it makes a useful commercial asset.

Good luck with future submissions 🙂

Hello Iggy,

Well, my computer ain't broken! 😊

The photo itself is just a bit too dark, the background is a solid black! The bird on the left is rather a black blob!

In my personal view, one could say exposure problems. I would increase the exposure a bit and increase the shadows and reduce the saturation somewhat. The yellow is just a bit too intense!

Hi,

I'm not sure what the Title should implicate, but as others said before the picture is to dark for a Stock Photo.

Before you submit, please review the submission guidelines carefully and compare your work with other Stock inventory.

Hope that helps.

Why should my computer break when you take pictures that are far too small for being put in stock? There is a big chance, that you have chromatic aberration.  I also think that the image is not crisp sharp, but that is impossible to see on a 2k image.

Maybe they don't care for the red line around the standing bird.

It might be just reality but it needs to be better than reality if so.

Your computer may be broken! 😉

No my computer isn't broken, and, frankly, I don't care how much you paid for your photographic equipment, since it doesn't guarantee technically perfect images.  As others have noted, focus is soft, chromatic aberration wasn't fixed, and you have a large, dark, underexposed area in the frame.
