Photo rejected

[Alex Arteaga]

I uploaded these photos to adobe stock and were rejected, I just want to be better knowing why.

Hi @Alex Arteaga ,

First to third images are out of focus. First and second are under exposed. First second horizon need to be straightened. Poor composition of fourth image. Fourth  First fourth and fifth has color fringes on the edges.

Best wishes

these photos are fantastic, esp if they are stock. Not sure if perhaps they have a guy working there that's new and just rejecting everything he see's unless it's done by Greg Gorman himself...

Greg Gorman's pictures would also get refusals here, when they do not fit the requirements.

Besides all the technical issues: There are also logos and people in the pictures. People would need model releases, the logos need to get photoshopped.

Hello,

I don't think these photos are great for stock. The image quality isn't good. As @jacquelingphoto2017  mentioned they are not sharp, the first and second photo needs to be brighter and the composition isn't good for stock either. These are fine for personal use, but I doubt very much for commercial use.

Have a read of this from Adobe about how to create better photos:
