photo rejection

[JOY98A6]

Having several photos rejected for technical issues. I uploaded a picture of a railway station one colored, one black and white. The colored image was accepted but not the black and white, but I made no changes to the image other than turning it b and w. appreciate any input

thanks Joy

Image adjustments

Do: Straighten horizon lines where appropriate.

Do: Adjust levels, curves, or brightness/contrast to ensure the best tonal range.

Don’t: Aggressively lighten shadows as this can introduce noise.

Don’t: Convert your image to black & white or duotone. Buyers want the maximum flexibility provided by the full color image. 

Do: Reduce noise if necessary—but don't overdo it, as you could create a soft image.

Do: Get to know sharpen tools and use them carefully—too much sharpening can bring out noise and unwanted texture.

You are giving yourself the solution. There is no possibility to get the picture back to colour, but it is easy to turn it black & white.
