Images rejected for technical reasons

Hello everyone,

 

these pictures have been rejected due technical reasons. I checked them for the specifics every image should have (resolution, color space, sharpess) but I can't find any problem in that. So I'm hoping someone from the community could help me. I'm open to any advice.

 

Thank you very much!

Correct answer Abambo

Technical issues is not a catch phrase for what they are not looking for. They are for problems with the picture. You should examine rejected pictures at 100% and look into details like noise, artefacts, chromatic aberration, etc. I've looked into the first image and I find as Marianne pointed out noise and chromatic aberration. I would also guess that there is also an exposure problem. I didn't look into the histogram so I can't be sure about that.

 

Pictures that Adobe thinks are not commercially interesting have a refusal reason of their own. The picture I looked into would certainly be one that fits into the portfolio.

I'm sorry to say that, but I think the curators are right. If you zoom in, you will see that there is a lot of noise in the images. The snow and the sky consist entirely of surfaces of noise. There is also chromatic aberration around the trees.

    Those are beautiful photos!! I'm guessing the "technical issues" is their 'catch-all' phrase (because that's the one I mostly get as well. So then it falls to your pictures, while beautiful in their own right, isn't quite what they're looking for. If you haven't already, check out their Visual Trends Guide. Also look at upping your photography game: follow Peter McKinnon on YouTube and/or check out the photography classes on Skill Share.
