my technical issues and rejections

So all of my images were rejected

including a cow - and some images where the point was to have the background blurred.

I am new-  is adobe only crips images not artistic? Asking because I don't know.

Secondly - when critiques come back talking about white point etc

is there a way adobe can scan our stuff - to check automatically to do a preview submit?

that would be cool and save time 

an action in psd and lightroom?

Correct answer @MNiessenPhoto

As @Jill_C as mentionned, there are sharpness and focusing issues with your pictures, so a blurred background is not the problem here. When well composed and focused, a picture would not be rejected because of a blurred background.

 

"is adobe only crips images not artistic? "

Stock photography is used for commercial (packaging, etc...) or editorial (illustration) purposes, not to be hanged in art galleries.

You can of course have some level of art in your images, as long as it doesn't suppress their commercial appeal. There are many photos that are very succesful on Adobe Stock because they are creative, so it's a question of subject, vision and execution.

 

Hope that helps,

Michael

1 nothing in focus

2 not well composed

3 depth of field is too limited; focusing just on the post throws the rest of the image out of focus

IMG_0893.JPG i get it the focal point is in the 5-7 area not the center 

the ceremony sign I blew up - not sure I agree - but ok

the third image - the point was only the post to be in focus so that's a subjective opinion - IMO.

Is there a link with examples of what adobe accepts so I can have some watermakrs please thanks
