Need Help. Why My Image Was Rejected?

Community Beginner ,
Aug 08, 2025 Aug 08, 2025

Hello Adobe Stock Community

When uploading photos, I encountered a rejection due to “quality issues.”
Please advise which technical aspects of quality can be fixed so that the photo will be accepted?
Thank you for any advice.

Have a nice day.

20220312_094640.jpg - The lighting has created some blownout hot spots, and makes for a rather strange background.

20220312_094537.jpg - DOF is too shallow resulting in most of the image being out of focuse.

Hello,

I think the composition isn't that good. By having the shadows from the blinds in the window? This has created not a nice pattern. What are you trying to show—the onions or something else?

Reshoot it.

Save the art experiments for Instagram and photo galleries.

Stock is global assets business for selling commercial quality content. 

 

For comparison, this is what you're competing with.

No fancy filters or visual effects. Just no-nonsense images of onions.

Thank you. I am new to this art form. Can you recommend a platform where artistic photographs are more in demand?

There's an open space on the right, so you should take the photo with composition in mind.

Also, the shadow of the blinds is falling on the subject, so unless it's intended as art, it's better to have no shadow.

These are phone images, taken with fake DOF. The background is somewhat noisy, and I suppose that the in-camera processing has introduced these stange colour stripes. Your framing is bad, even considering that you may have intended to leave some negative space. the lightning is not optimal, and the shadow created by the stores does not add to the image quality.IMG_3272.jpeg
