Correct answer Ricky336

It's probably because of this:

You can see compression artifacts in the background - typical with smartphones.

So rickey 336 - Could the entire image in the window be darkened completely out? Then submit it? Easy enough to do selecting the window and using curves or exposure? JH

You could do noise reduction on the background, filling the reflection with something different and resubmit. I personally would retake the picture paying more attention to different issues. The artefacts issue however will stay as long as as you use your phone to take JPEG images.

    Hello E_Koren,

    Adobe has many guidelines for stock contributors to follow. Here are the link and a long quote for you as a beginning answer for you. Other information awaits your own exploration of your work at 100 - 200% magnification to see many more. Best regards, JH

    Artifacts

    Artifacts include noise, gains, color fringing, and other artificial coloration that is many times present in the body of the image. Grains are a dark spot that is usually more visible in the dark and shady areas of the image and is more visible at smooth areas magnified at 100 to 200%. Grains are also visible in smooth areas. As you view these areas you'll notice if there's a light spectrum of colors that should not be there. For example, shadow having colors of purple, blue, pink etc. and not solid black. Color fringes are usually at the edges, most of the times purple. To correct these you need to, with an editing software, apply a small amount of postprocessing. Be careful not to make it obvious.

    Here are some links you can benefit from:

    Would it be possible to fix this image with the software? Or is it the

    overall image?

    I realize that the photo itself would be better, ideally. Would it be

    possible to fix a similar image?

    Thanks!
