Image rejected for being Non-Compliant

[sunraybrett]

I submitted an aerial yoga series and they were rejected as non-compliant. These are aerial yoga poses normally done in a class, so I do not understand what they see that does not comply. All images are model released and a large number of the series were accepted.

Titles and keywords are a great place to start here.  Check for anything that might be copyrighted such as a famous landmark or a well known person etc..  Make sure they are in the same language as well.

It may be because of the poses which may be normal for a yoga class, but which may pose a problem, because of the young age of the girl. I would expect Adobe stock to be quite prude on certain poses. That would result in a non-compliant refusal.

That was my reaction as well. If this was my daughter, I would not post these online.

I don't know if the girl will be happy with this when being a young adult.

Hi Jill, maybe they have tightened the rules but they allowed this https://stock.adobe.com/au/search?k=kid+doing+splits&search_type=usertyped&asset_id=480211577 and https://stock.adobe.com/au/search?k=kid+doing+splits&search_type=usertyped&asset_id=440499200 from other photographers.

Thanks, Abambo, I was thinking because there are 2000+ stock images of kids doing the splits in ballet and gymnastic outfits that the fact the girl was wearing bike shorts that would have been even more acceptable.  I am surprised they allow 6000+ images of kids holding guns, gotta love the USA.

Wow, kids & guns - that's disturbing !

Look at these accepted images: https://stock.adobe.com/au/images/little-african-american-boy-playing-with-gun-at-table-child-in-dan... or new AI ones https://stock.adobe.com/au/search?k=kids+with+guns&search_type=usertyped&asset_id=658313358 or https://stock.adobe.com/au/images/young-child-kid-teen-boy-is-a-soldier-with-a-self-made-robot-helme...

The morals are changing. Certain things that used to be okay are frowned upon today. And since the moderators are people, there are different decisions at borderline. And from time to time the moderators are also retrained, get new instructions on what to accept and what not.

[sunraybrett]

Thanks for the clarification. I tend to look at what others have in collections as a guide and have more of a European slant than the US in image creation.

[Abambo]

As Adobe is operating worldwide, it will not only have to consider what the USA thinks, or Europe, but also the rest of the World. It's complicated. 

As for the guns: Americans love guns. That would not be appropriate somewhere else. But they will take off pictures of a young lady posing as a Native American woman with feathers. We all played Indians and cowboys as children. Times change, and may be one day, they will also ban the gun pictures.

You win some, you lose some.  Few contributors have 100% perfect acceptance rates.   

Images that intentionally or unintentionally s*xualize children are never appropriate.
