Hello!

I'd love feedback on the technical issues found in the attached images. I'm a new contributor and would like to improve my technique for future submissions. Many thanks to anyone willing to offer critque!

Lack of sharp focus seems to be the main issue in each of these. Zoom in between 100-200% to carefully examine before uploading.

Thanks for the quick reply Jill! I thought that might be my issue but I was curious if there were any other issues I might be overlooking. 

I appreciate you taking the time to give me this feedback.

You're welcome.

I agree with @Jill_C regarding the focus and depth of field.  I would also add that, in general, it is very difficult to get black and white photos accepted.  Generally, Adobe Stock customers prefer full colour images and they can always convert to monochrome if they so choose. 

Here are a couple of links that you may find helpful.

Best of luck in your future submissions.

Hi @reedesign1912 ,

Thanks so much for that feedback! And thanks for the resources. I'll study those before making my next submission. 

Appreciate your time and the well wishes!

Hi @SDP3 ,

The first file is excessively noisy - both chromatic and luminance noise. It also has a white balance issue.

The second is black and white that is underexposed, noisy and out of focus.

The third has motion blur, underexposed, slightly noisy and not completely in focus.

The fourth is a little cool and slightly noisy.

I hope this helped.

Best wishes

Jacquelin
