Question

Image rejected because of "post processing and/or noise", but its unaltered

I captured an (according to me) amazing image, but it was rejected because "it features excessive post-processing and/or noise", of which I haven't altered it. It was captured on my phone, using HDR mode. How can i get it to be accepted, or maybe there is something I am missing, since I'm a fairly new contributor to Adobe Stock??

Okay. I think I understand now. So, that basically means I cannot upload photos taken in HDR mode...????

One of the rejected photos is shown below:

It would seem so. It probably depends on how unnatural it looks though. I mean, that sunset image just looks wrong. The sky is way too dark, saturated, and contrasted compared to the ground. It almost looks like two different images pasted together (which it kind of/almost is).

HDR is post-processing. Your phone is doing the post-processing and it's not you, but it's still post-processing. Also, there may be noise. Without seeing an example, we can't say.
