NON-COMPLIANT IMAGE

[RALPH_L]

Here is a new one for me "NON-COMPLIANT IMAGE".

Usually this is given when a Water Mark is shown, the keywords or title do not apply to the

image or a model release is missing.

 Keywords: africa, african, animal, artistic, beautiful, black background, Dark, eye, Face, head, low key, patern, portrait, safari, stranding, stripe, wild, wildlife, Zebra, zoo

Title: portrait of a striped zebra on a black background

Any suggestions?

Hi @RALPH_L ,

you omitted to send in the signed model release... (just kidding).

It's your vignetting you applied. I suppose, the moderator could also have selected the technical issues refusal. The asset is also not very sharp, as always I look at the eyes. The sharpness plane lies behind the head on the back part of the body.

Thanks @Abambo , you are right about the focus. I missed that.

The focus alone would probably be "only" a technical issue! The non-compliancy is probably triggered by the strong vignetting. I have one or two images like that in my refusal repository.

Adobe does not accept "certain zoo animals". Some zoos do not permit you to sell images taken on their property. For instance, San Diego Zoo does not allow commercial use of photographs taken on their property without their explicit written consent.
