This is too small. We need to see the full-sized image as originally submitted.

Thank you so much I have submitted the image again to my  stock collection. Not sure why it was so small.

You would not have been to upload an image to Adobe Stock if it didn't meet the minimum file size requirements. The version that you uploaded here in the Forum is not the same file that you submitted to Adobe. We need to see the exact same version that you uploaded to Adobe stock.

Oh ok thank you I will try to do that.

Im a bit confused is this where I load the full size image

Yes. 🙂

I want to love the minimalist quality of this image, but the foreground needed to be sharper. Clearly, you focused on the subject, but at the expense of the foreground. As far as composition is concerned, the tree could have been to the left or right instead of dead center.

Thank you so much. Oh dear I have uploaded 4 previous images including that canola image that were rejected because I thought that all my files had been too small. ha ha I clearly got that wrong.  I guess they will just reject them again. I hope that is ok. Thanks again Wendy.

Beautiful photo but not quite sharp enough. Also the sky needs to be darkened about a half of a stop to show some details.

Thanks so much ,the information you give is such a help. Unfortunately I have uploaded 4 previous images including that canola image that were rejected because I thought that all my files had been too small. Ha ha I clearly got that wrong.  I guess they will just reject them again. I hope that is ok. Thanks again Wendy.

Nothing in the image seems to be in sharp focus. Zoom in to at least 100% and you'll see the problem.

Thnaks so much, the tree was a long way away and I was rushing to get the bird in before he flew off so no tripod, but also no excuse,! 

This critique info you offer  is invaluable to me. Just wondering if I can get you to look at two more images that were rejected. I think I do have a few focus issues..

The first hay bale is slightly out of focus at 100%, and might pass moderation; however the sky is noisy, and you need to run Denoise, which will make the hay bale even softer. 

The windmill has a similar problem; the focus on the windmill might be acceptable, but there is chroma noise in the sky (that pinkish texture) that needs to be corrected.

Bear in mind that when submitting to Adobe Stock don't add any toning as it seems you have done in these two shots. It's best to leave them natural. The downloader can add their own toning. Adding toning can also add artefacts.

Thank you again, very very much appreciated. You offer a great service which helps in pushing us in the right direction.!

In addition to the composition, try not to have the photo divided; include a bit more foreground or sky. Cropping the photo would do this.
