Post "Wicker Basket Made of Bamboo" rejected

[Pruworld]

Hi...I just read that my post for Wicker Basket been rejected because of technical issue.  And the link drove me here...so my question is, can you be more specific about the issue, so I can fix it. Thanks

It its all about focus.

All have a DOF issue, resulting in part of the object being in focus and part out of focus. White Balance seems to be off in several as well - too blue/gray, perhaps because you shot in front of a window with full shade. The shadows are too dark in some cases, also. A reflector or second light source would have helped. Had these not been rejected for "technical issues" I suspect that some may have been rejected as "too similar".

Sadly, there's not much wow factor here. Good composition, technique and lighting are key parts of successful Stock Photography.  Compare yours with other Stock Contributions to see what your competition is doing.

Let's face it, it was probably an easy decision to reject, because the many faults in the pictures. What did strike me at the first sight was the big white background space. There is not much suspense in having have of the space eaten up with nothing. 

But such a clean white also let's me think that you tried to do cut out work. It is very difficult to do that at the quality required for Adobe stock, even on the most simplest geometric figures. Your work is definitly not the best: 

especially as the material does not provide for straight lines as you well see in the foregrond.

And indeed, submitting so many pictures of the same object will get a refusal on "similar item", when the first 2 would have been accepted.
