I have many images that have been rejected but there are 5-8 of them that I'm sure there is some sort of error. How do I upload these?

Hello again,

The first photo is not in proper focus. The edges of the flower are not sharp. The white center also has a white glare that needs to be toned down. See the edges at 200% magnification.

The second photo,  Pink Impatients are also needing better exposure and focus. The yellow flowers are strong enough to be a distraction. Might need to be cropped out.

The quality of floral photos must be exceptional to compete with the thousands of photographs contributed by topnotch photographers. Adobe has a clear standard and many guidelines. I hope this was helpful. Try a few more carefully composed and exposed takes of these same flowers and resubmit after you check your work to see if it meets guidelines. These two, however, do not. Regards, JH

Hello Diddyshaow,

Someone from this forum will reply once you send in one or two (no more) photographs with the rejection reason.

You may reply and notice the "Actions - above it. You will see an Icon which indicates upload for photographs. The square with a dot and v shape inside the frame.

Make sure you have examined the rejected pictures at 200% magnification first - you might discover the cause for a rejection.

We also hope you have looked at the Adobe guidelines for stock contributors. You will learn the rejection reasons and the guidelines to have your work accepted. Kind regards, JH
