Critique Request

HI All! I am new to the Adobe Stock world. I submitted some photos that were rejected, and I would appreciate some feedback to understand why. Any critiques or feedback you can provide would be greatly appreciated in honing my skills and adding to my understanding of stock photography. Thank you all!

Check your histogram and open up the shadows and reduce the highlights on this one.

Thank you @daniellei4510 . I will work on the highlights and shadows more when shooting and post production.

DSC_0159.jpg - white balance seems to be a bit too blue

DSC_0363 (2).jpg - the sky is blownout

Hello,

I think it might help if you tweak the white balance and make some adjustments using the curve tool to add a bit more contrast. You can also use the highlight tool to recover some of the highlights, such as those in the sky.

There are a few things you could do in Lightroom/Photoshop, or other editing software, to make your images 'pop' a bit more.

Exposure appears to be the biggest problem. Be careful with shadows and highlights.
