Black and white conversions are not accepted, and you would have needed a model release for the man on the sidewalk.

thank you, i did not know that B&W conversions are not accepted, it doesn't say that in the quality guidlines anywhere. the man on the side walk is very pixelated if you zoom into his face, I thought you only needed model release if he was identifiable.

It does say that in the guidelines. But a refusal is no problem. We all learned by refusals. The “Dining” flag would earn you an IP refusal, as would the logos on the cars. And I'm sorry, but the young man with the phone is recognizable. I suppose that Adobe would like to be on the secure side, so they would ask for a model release.

I also have the impression, that the colour picture is underexposed and soft on focus.
