Feedback: Quality issues

[Ashley28804270tq05]

Any insight as to why these images were rejected on this platform?  They were accepted on three other platforms. I am a fairly new photographer and VERY new at macro or close up anything. Any thing constructive however obvious is welcome.

focus and exposure are the problems with both photos.

Thank you for the feedback.

The crochet stitches are very nice. For such an extreme closeup, you would need to mount the camera on a tripod and either use artificial lights (even ordinary LED light bulbs could be used), or strong but indirect window light. The tripod will allow you to use a higher f stop to increase the depth of field and get all of the subject in focus.

Thank you for the feedback. I'll put the tripod on the "to buy" list.

Focus and color are very important with textiles. Compare yours with current Stock inventory.
