Quality Issue with Adobe Stock Submission

[Al-Bruce]

Hi,

I submitted a collection of photos I've taken while travelling that have been edited but only to adjust the colours, but after submitting it I was informed there was a Quality Issue, but I'm not quite sure what I've done wrong with the images. I've attached a few to give an idea of what I was submitting. Any feedback or suggestions would be appreciated!

Thanks!

DJI_0182.jpg  - the foreground is quite underexposed

DJI_0258.jpg - not sharply focused

The greens in 0387 are on the bluish side, and the foreground leaves in the upper left are out of focus. But aside from that, I'm not really seeing a subject here that stands out. The stones and rocks aren't in and of themselves aren't or strong interest.

Not sure what's going on here. Was this an intentional vignette? From a stock perspective, this shadow is too deep and its source unknown.

Hello,

From my viewpoint, your colours are off in all of the samples. From Adobe Stock's point of view—I think—there are white balance issues.

White balance:

Judging by the file name, these shots were taken with a drone, so the quality of drone shots overall can also be an issue.

And in one such case, here is the white balance.

You need to check all of tghe photos. There are exposure problems and the colors are all off. This is how they should look after shadow, highlight and overall exposure is corrected and the colors are corrected and the unwanted pole in the trees to the left is removed.:

The art in stock photography is not to edit the pictures only lightly, you need to edit them, so that they look like unedited natuaral pictures. Some of my pictures are highly edited to give that natuaral look.
