Non-compliant file - why?

Just getting started in Adobe Stock and had several photos come back rejected for "Non-compliant file." After reading through the guidelines, I'm still confused as to why this image would have been rejected. Is it because of the watermark? Thanks for the feedback.

Hi rustnhere,

Looks like a fine shot, however, two things might be cause for a rejection. First, there is a logo of some kind in the lower left corner. The heavy blue might also be a bit too strong, Other than these things - your work looks great.

The logo is non-compliant. The colorizing is merely a little distracting from the central focus. - a personal preference and not a reason for this rejection.  What lens did you use?

You can remove the logo and resubmit and we will see how it goes. Let us know if it is accepted after correction. Best wishes, JH

Yes, most likely because of the watermark. When uploading do not include any kind of watermarking.

For me the blue sky is fine.

Thank you. I watermark most of my photos. This image was taken from my DJI Phantom 4 drone. I'll remove the watermark and try resubmitting. Thank you.

Why do you watermark the images ..? I also find the sky a bit oversaturated. ..
