Photography and Photoshop Feedback

[N5FAF]

Hi, I would like to submit better content as a Photographer and Contributor. I would appreciate any constructive feedback on the images that I submitted but did not get accepted on Adobe Stock because of "Quality Issues." Thank you!

The first image is quite noisy and there is a large blown out area. The second image also has noise. The third image might have been rejected due to overexposure.  There is banding in the sky in the 4th image.

Thank you for your feedback!

The first photo also has a blue spot in the water that should be removed. Also, the ID on the sail must be removed.

Thank you!

The inclusion of the silhouette in Exposure4 seems kind of arbitrary and unnecessary. Without it, I could see the image having more commercial value to someone in the creative field.

And why three of the same moons in the other image? Again, seems a bit arbitrary. These may not sound like quality issues but more along the lines compositional issues, but I don't believe Composition Issues is among the reasons for rejection so it gets included in Quality Issues.

Thank you, I'll fix the composition!

The first: 

Noise and colour noise (half circle, but basically everywhere), a blue point reflection (from the lens),  and a main subject that is not clearly defined.

As for your artwork: Adobe stock is not the correct place to sell that. You will need to publish the correctly edited source files and let the buyer do the layering. That's not a lot of work for someone knowing how to handle Photoshop. And that would allow the buyer to use their effects in the strength as needed.

Thank you for explaining! I will keep the guideline in mind th next time I upload!

Here are the fixed version of the images. I would appreciate any feedbacks and comments! 🙂

That shouldn't pass, as you still have artefacts as seen at 100%: 

As for your Photoshop work, I would assume that they will fail too, on the grounds laid out before.

Okay, thank you for taking the time to review my work!

[Abambo]

You're welcome.

I don't like to point my camera lens directly at the sun.  It rarely produces good results and it can destroy your camera sensor.

Owing to my experience with film cameras, I think of double-exposures as unintended glitches. Sorry.  Nowadays, double-exposures are a special effect. As with any special effect, it can work in some but not all situations.  Also there is a fine line between art and gimmicks.  You should avoid the latter.

Adobe Stock has 1.4 million examples of double-exposures. Compare yours with what's available. Ask yourself if you would buy yours and what you would use it for?  Good Stock photos should convey a mood or message.

Hope that helps.
