Sorry, but the underexposure is a technical issue. You need to post well exposed pictures to the database. This allows a maximum of editing for the buyer. We are only interpreting your picture, not judging your intend nor the artistic value.

The asset is indeed crisp sharp.

What is disturbing, is the pole in the middle of the image.

(Congratulations to your sunset clouds image(s). That may be an exception, but for sure is not the rule.)

And this is one of the many reasons why contributors are not allowed to ask moderators for their specific reasons for rejecting an image. The back and forth would put a full stop to moderating an already inundated database. No where does is specify that a person asking for feedback is required to accept that feedback. We can only provide our own opinions or what we think might have been the opinion of the moderator. What is done with the after that is entirely up to the contributor.

Hello,

"(dark tones - this is an trend idea (dark green tones in twilight ), not a technical error)"

Actually, I disagree. It actually is a technical error — at least for Adobe. If it is a trend idea, then it is a bad one!

It is too underexposed. The picture is flat!

No range of tones and take note of the histogram;

With some corrections to exposure and tone:

You need more of a tonal range!

For me your variant have ugly (washed out) shadows and flat image without volume.
u can see/check it on not calibrated iPhone and iPad displays and of cause on calibratad iMac display too. Dynamic range is so flat. Without deep dark tones in depth of greenery.
(please compare our 2 versions on iPhone Pro Display. What photo is more cutest?)

I think what you work on not calibrated display from iMac or MacBook

P. S. I calibrate my iMac 27" (2013) by

x-rite i1Display Pro with Gamma 2.2 and Native contrast, 120 candles, D65

All iMac 27" displays need to be calibrated because they do not have the correct contrast (overcontrast) and a strong blue tint.
this can be checked with any colorimeter and start "check of quality of display" .

Edit yours by incorporating some of the advice and resubmit. Whatever you resubmit and gets accepted is good enough for Adobe stock.

I agree with @Jill_C about the underexposure, just looking at the Histogram alone would be enough to reject this photo.

I think this has a chance of getting accepted with some exposure correction to lighten the photo and perhaps a slight bump in vibrance/saturation.

Like @Jill_C pointed out, with so many fern photos already this may not be a big seller even if accepted.

Cheers!

George, thank you for your reply !

But dark tones (histogram moved to the left side) - this is an trend idea (dark green tones in twilight ), not a technical error). And you can see all detail in shadows and low lights. (If your monitor/display properly calibrated)

(P.s. I have "sunset clouds background" photoes whats have over 1000 downloads. Despite the fact that there are A LOT of such photos )

It's underexposed and not sharply focused. There are already >400,000 images of ferns in the Adobe Stock database, and yours would have to be technically perfect to be accepted, and still might never sell; so I wouldn't put much more effort into this image.
