Hi Fellow Contributors,

I hope you're doing well. My name is [Your Name], and I'm a passionate photographer who has recently started contributing to Adobe Stock. I admire the quality and creativity of your work and would greatly appreciate your feedback on some of my recent photos.

I'm committed to improving my skills and would really appreciate any insights or suggestions you might have to help me better align my work with the standards and expectations of Adobe Stock.

I would love to hear your thoughts on my portfolio or specific images if you have a moment. Your expertise and guidance would mean a lot to me as I strive to grow as a photographer.

Thank you for your time, and I look forward to any advice you might share.

Best regards,

I'll discuss a few:

Document preview of _SHA5181-1.jpg: You'll want to get rid of the text and logo on the red boat. The logo in particular would be an IP issue.

Document preview of _SHA5124-13.jpg: Too tightly cropped. I think the entire animal should be visible. Also, the garbage in the sand should be removed. Some localized exposure and color adjustments might also help.
The Taj Mahal: There is some haloing around the entire structure and pillars.

Thanks, Daniel I will definitely try to correct them

_SHA5124-13.jpg - it would be easy to remove all the trash in the photo making this more saleable.

_SHA5181-1.jpg - logos and identifying marks on the boat need to be removed; otherwise  you'll have to include a property release.

_SHA4562-7.jpg - visible noise in the sky

_SHA4613-8.jpg - not in sharp focus; probably need a property release for this sculpture

_SHA3766_edited.jpg - the rock is not in sharp focus; the white balance appears to be too blue, and the leaves in the upper corner should be removed.

Thanks Jill, Working on these issues...

I'm unsure what this is or what commercial value it will have for Stock Customers.  The subject is dark and lacks much detail.

Remember who your target audience is.  Working professionals & amateurs in search of highest quality stock assets to use in commercial projects -- print, digital, textile, plastic, ceramic, etc...

Good luck.

Thanks, Nancy, for your kind words... I will definitely work upon the issues highlighted and will come up with better images...

Some of the photos are a little too dark and some are too soft. Also, any identifiable writtings need to be removed (boat and bull).

Thanks Ralph, I will work on them and reshare these images

Hi @Shashank Singhal 

The first file is lacking contrast.

The second file is too cool and with grain noise.

The third file is underexposed and has a white balance issue. Like the second file it has a blue tint. There's a blue color fringe on the edge of the subject.

The fourth file is with blown out highlights, underexposed and possibly could be sharper.

The fifth file is not completely sharp, underexposed and has grain noise.

Details are lost in the shadows of the sixth file.

The seventh file is underexposed and has evidence of camera shake.

The eight file is out of focus. You should also remove the writing on the boat.

The ninth file is noisy. For commercial purpose you need to remove the pattern so that the image looks generic.

The tenth file has color fringing, white balance issue and is underexposed.

You should zoom in on the files at between 100 and 200% to find the issues.

Also, we prefer if in the future you submit 3 files at a time for our review.

Best wishes

Besides the missing contrast and the noise in the sky, your second picture is also having an outline around objects. Those outlines are normally caused by overprocessing, especially sharpening. 

(on an unrelated issue: When using templates, you should replace placeholders like [Your Name] with the intended content.)

Hi Abambo,
