I got rejected for technical reasons, texture photo.

Hi @Olexandr22522449d3x6 ,

There seem to be a problem. I do not see the file you query.

Best wishes

As I agree, that the white balance is off, I think that it needs to get warmer, as the shadows are bluish. The huge amount of yellow probably points to added saturation, either selectively for the yellow colour range or as an overall added saturation push.

The picture has also a higher noise level than expected:

And yes, your DOF is too narrow. Your main subject should have more in focus than just a small stripe.

IMHO, at least the marked area should be nicely in focus for such a picture:

I have a similar picture in the database, and all my bark is in focus.

And getting to @Ricky336 point: it does not sell!

Thanks everyone for the replies. I will try to improve the photo based on your advice

In addition to the white balance issue which makes the bark too orange/yellow, the background and shadows are purple, which doesn't seem natural. However, even if you fix that issue, the too-shallow depth of field cannot be corrected and would still earn a rejection. 

Hello,

1.  You need a central point to focus your eye on something. Too much is out of focus.
2.  The white balance needs to be corrected. Currently, it is just too yellow!
3.  What are you trying to show? What purpose does this have? How could it be used in a commercial setting? Who would buy it and why? You need to ask yourself these questions. One thing is to get the picture accepted, another is to make multiple sales!

As @Robert McAlpine says, you need to have something that draws your eye. In your shot there isn't anything, I'm afraid!

• Have a look at the Adobe Stock tutorials:

To my eyes, only a very small portion of the image is in the focal plane.  Usually having part of your image in focus and part out of focus is a deliberate attempt by the photogfrapher to emphasize and highlight some important feature of the composition and when I look at youur image, I get the impression that what is in focus is random.  Also - what message is the image sending to me?  I am not sure what you were intending, but for me I don't find the image compelling and my eye wanders rather aimlessly and the in-focus part of the image is where it finnally rests; but there is no message there.  I have seen lots of images of tree bark; but the best of them have something like a fungus as a central point of the composition.  I don't find anything like that in this image. I hope these thoughts are helpful and that you go back into the forest and choose a more compelling subject to photograph.

Hello,

I think that can be different reasons. In my opinion, as a non-Adobe employee, it could be that the depth of field used could be interpreted as a blur. As a picture it looks good, but according to the guidelines it could be interpreted that way.
In the Contributor Panel on the right side in the Tab for the rejected Images there should be some more hints what can be improved. Hope that helps.
