Give me some advice

[A&J Creator]

My photo has a quality issue and was rejected from the stock collection. I don't know how to fix this problem

Someone, please give me some advice

Far too dark. I can barely make out the rest of the tree.

Thank you for the advice, but I would like to know more: Does brightness also relate to the image decision? Because, in my opinion, at night, it should really be dark, with only a little light from the reflection of the moon.

"Does brightness also relate to the image decision?"

Absolutely it does. Even if dark, the main subject still needs to be seen. And, when it's brightened, other errors appear. The tree seems to be floating? Not sure what's going on at the bottom.

Thank you. And what about this image? Why didn't it pass, even though it's bright?

Faulty cutouts for starters.

This happened because of merging the layers. I should redraw the whole thing

You have to think about how a Buyer might use such an asset. With most of the subject invisible, it's hard to imagine how they would use this.

Before you submit, compare your best work with current Stock inventory. 

This is what you're competing with:

Your work should be better than what Stock is selling now.

Customers expect commercial-ready assets for use in professional projects— print, digital and textile.

Rule of thumb: All assets must contain sufficient highlights, midtones and shadows, regardless of setting.
