Hi! I'm pretty new to stock photography, and I'm trying to figure out why some of my photos are being rejected due to technical issues. I can't personally detect any sensor spots, however I did detect some noise at 100%; I'm not sure if this is the issue? Thanks!

Hi @Kelsey22447451fjef,

Put yourself in the customer's shoes.  Why would I buy these?  What could I use them for commercially?

 If the answer to either question is "I don't know,"  chances are it's not right for Adobe Stock.

 

Read the Stock Contributor User Guide.  Compare your work with other images in the Adobe Stock database.  HINT:  Adobe Stock already has millions & millions of plant images.  If you want to be successful at Stock Photography, find less well-represented subjects to photogra

Better luck next time.  Happy 2022!

Hello,

Yep, focus and exposure are the main issues! Sadly, not good enough for commercial use!
