Photos Not Accepted for Quality Issues

[Arlind Qosa]

My photos were recently not accepted for quality issues. What issues might the photos have so I can improve them? I have attached the photos to this post. Your help will be greatly appreciated.

I assume you did not include your watermark on these when submitted to Adobe Stock , because that is not permitted.

- the first image is overexposed at the top edge

- the second image is underexposed in the background, and should have been cropped tighter. Adobe already has millions of daisy images, and surely one with such a battered bloom wouldn't fare well...

- the third image has artifacts in the clouds

Thank you for the feedback! I will work now to improve my images.

Mountain: the clouds are clipping. The mountains are not in focus and contrast is not good.

daisy: out of focus and chromatic aberrations. The framing could be better, but contrary to @Jill_C , I do not find this as a major fault. I also think that if perfect, it would have some charm and use. As Jill points out, there are millions of such pictures, so the chances for getting selected are minimal.

ducks: definitly overexposed. Look at your histogram. You have colour noise and the duck (both!) are out of focus. At least the first one should be in focus.

BTW: it is best to submit the assets as submitted, with no modifications, as you may add defects or hide defects by creating a new export.
