LOOKING FOR FEEDBACK AS TO WHY IMAGE WAS NOT ACCEPTED?

[Chip35130621uwvc]

To me, the image is  fine, what is it that I can do to or what do I need to change so that my images will be accepted? Any feedback would be greatly appreciated. thanks

You need to post the asset as submitted. We can't work with a low resolution images to check for errors. You will need also to give us the refusal reason (header only!).

One problem may have been the shadow area to the right which is underexposed. 

[Chip35130621uwvc]

Thank you Abambo. I appreciate the feedback. I will have to look up the refusal reason (header only), as I don't recall exactly what that means? I did think about that area to the right and will keep that in mind for future submissions. Just to clarify, when you say "post asset as submitted" are you saying to not try and enhance it in anyway?  Sorry for the noobie questions. I am very impressed and thankful for your quick reply and help :)...

By "as submitted," @Abambo means at its original full size.

You will find the rejection reason here: https://contributor.stock.adobe.com/uploads/rejected

"As submitted" means that you should upload the asset here 

in the same quality and the same size as you did upload to the stock site.

Thans but i cannt find that link above where it says "Drag and Drop here....."  Canyou send an actual link ? Ive looked everywhere....

The reason was "Quality Issues". I'll go back and re-submit other photos without the darker under-exposed area. Thanks again to you and daniellei4510 🙂

Its the 11th icon over from the left. The little sunset image found in the same place you write your post.

[Abambo]

There is no link to send. It's under the editor, when you answer a post here. The alternative is indeed what @daniellei4510 showed you.

OMG, I am so sorry as i did not realize it was on the toolbar of the forum. My apologies. I am very gratefuel for the help and please let me know how I can thank you?

The histogram shows some need for minor adjustments in the highlights and the shadows. And the tree could be opened up above and beyond the minor histogram adjustments. That might help, but sunsets are a hard sell to get them accepted unless they are significantly unique.signficantly.

 

[Chip35130621uwvc]

Okay, understood. I guess I need to do more post processing. Thanks very much! I'll play with some other photos, crop some and see what I can come up with. I was just hoping to get my first few accepted.   

What do you think of this one, not really a sunset , more of a river/swamp image. Is it too far off and needs to be closer?

Take a look at the histogram; this one also underexposed areas.

This is a moving subject topic, but just to test that, a year ago, I submitted a sunset picture and it got accepted. I'm still hoping that one day it will get a sale! 🤪

Hello,

You have the Adobe Stock file number on the photo and their watermark - this would indicate it has been accepted.

Maybe you have mixed the photos?

In the e-mail notification, you get one image inserted with the Adobe asset ID. That is also the case if the asset shown got refused.

Thanks to all. Finally got 4 images accepted so i'm on my way 🙂 Will keep up the work of taking good quality pics and submitting them. I really appreciate everyones help. Thank You!

[Jill_C]

That's good to hear. Slow and steady is the best approach. Submit a few images at a time after carefully editing and inspecting them and you'll see steady growth in your portfolio - and hopefully some sales!

[Chip35130621uwvc]
