Hi, community. A little help here. This photo was rejected for "quality issues", why?

As flower pictures are abundantly present in the database, they need to be perfect and have a “wow”-factor. This one shows artefacts , missing contrasts and is a bit out of focus.

Even though the histogram shows a correctly exposed asset, it is a bit dark.

Thank you!

You're welcome.

As of this moment, there are 29.6 million images tagged with "flower" in the database. Adobe doesn't need more floral images. Even if it were perfect, the chance that yours would be ever noticed or sold is close to zero. Zoom in >100% and you'll see that the center is not sharply focused.

Thank you!
