I would Greatly appreciate it if someone could please help me understand why my images were rejected so that I might be able to avoid the same mistakes moving forward! 

Thank you in advance!

I did not look at all of your images, they have probably all the same or similar problems:

Stock1: Has been converted to b/w and shows artefacts due to the processing. Personally, I think that there is not enough of the picture in focus.

Stock27: Chromatic aberration. And in addition, the picture is out of focus.

Stock15 is again a b/w picture.

Stock25 is out of focus. There may also be colour banding and other artefacts.

As for the other pictures I did not look at them. Please do not post more than 3 pictures in a range. If after getting the critics for those pictures your refusals for the other ones are still unclear, you can post a different one. It's time-consuming to open each picture, and it may not contribute to helping others in their process to see what may go wrong. It's also not easy to refer the correct picture for the critique.

Thank you for your response and your assistance, I really appreciate it. Just one other question... Will all black and white photos not be accepted?

Hi @BLUpalette Photography ,

If your black and white picture is looking exceptionally outstanding it might be considered. However it is not recommended since Photoshop does an excellent job at converting from color to black and white, Your images has greater opportunity for sale in color than in black and white since both category customers will buy them. There are much more need for color than black and white, which could mean many black and white images becoming dead-stock. As a beginner, inexperienced in taking professional quality images I suggest you concentrate on color only. I do not believe at this time you will be able to submit the quality black and white that will stimulate consideration.

Hi @BLUpalette Photography ,

The photos I look at are not completely sharp. 

I get the impression you had some sort of filter over the lens. This is extremely hazy and not sharp.

The black and white are not so sharp and too flat.
