Quality issues images upload canon

[Diginiek]

Hi,
I recently uploaded these photos – raw material from my Canon camera, with very little editing. However, I'm getting a notification about quality issues.
Does anyone have any tips?

We need to see a couple full-sized images. We have no way to access your rejected assets. You can post them here at the size submitted.

Keep in mind that Stock already contains millions & millions of plants, trees, flowers, leaves and other vegetation.

Before you submit, always compare your best images against Stock's current inventory to ensure that 1) Stock needs it and 2) it's better than what Stock is selling now.

Also read your Contributor User Guide for more tips. Adobe Stock customers expect the highest visual and technical quality for use in commercial projects.

I would say, that you need to edit them. 

As @daniellei4510 said, post a couple (2) of them as submitted, and we will have a look at it.

Attached is a raw photo with no editing (except for Lightroom).
As for the number of flower photos on Adobe Stock, I believe this is not a criterion.
The rejection notice refers to a quality issue.

[daniellei4510]

The image is slightly out of focus. And yes, the number of images on Adobe Stock is a criterion. If you are new to Adobe Stock, you apparently haven't seen the rejection reason for Similar Content already in the database, which has been a growing issue. And when there are millions upon millions of the same subject on Adobe Stock, such assets get buried in the search results, which can include up to 10,000 (or 100 pages) of examples. Few contributors have the time to peruse 10,000 assets looking for the one they need.

This is what you should be doing:

Removing unwanted objects and crop to Rule-of-Thirds.
Adjust exposure and lighting.
Sharpen.

DOF is too shallow, resulting in a good portion of the bloom being out of focus.

============

It is if you want to make sales.  You can't compete with 70 million other assets. Nobody will ever find you. 

Besides, 'Similar Content' is a very common reason for rejection. Reviewers give you one bite at the apple per submission. The first rejection reason they see is the box that gets checked, although there may be several other reasons for refusal.

It's much better to be the big fish in a small pond instead of a tiny fish in an ocean.

It's not personal, just practical business sense. Give customers what they want & need and you'll succeed. 

[Diginiek]

The reason for the rejection was purely technical. The photo was taken with a 50mm lens (bokeh), which was a deliberate choice.

[daniellei4510]

Adobe moderators don't take personal choices into consideration. If it doesn't meet Adobe's standards, rather due to quality, technical or other issues, assets will be rejected. 

[daniellei4510]

And to be clear, I wasn't talking about the background, but the yellow flower itself. It's slightly out of focus.

Hello,

Your depth of field is too shallow, especially at f /1.8. You didn't manage to get the focus spot on as well.

Did you use the kit lens that came with the camera? Often, these kit lenses aren't that sharp.

[Diginiek]

The photo is just the way I like it. Everyone has their own taste. Thanks for the tip, but I don’t need a kit lens.

=========

Then keep it for personal use. Don't submit blurry photos to Stock. They won't accept them. 

Stock customers expect commercial quality artwork for use in professional projects— print, digital and textile.

A kit lens that came with our camera is usually lesser quality than separately purchased lenses, which cost quite a bit more.  

Good luck.

[Jill_C]

It's a lovely image which you can continue to enjoy; however, it doesn't meet Adobe's quality standards. I have many, many such images, but I don't submit them since I don't know they will be rejected.

[Ricky336]

Thanks for the tip, but I don’t need a kit lens.

By @Diginiek

Just to be clear, I was asking if you used the lens that came with your camera to take this photo. These types of lenses are referred to as 'kit lenses'.

If you indeed did use such a lens, I'm suggesting that this is the result of it not being as sharp as it could be.
