Quality Issues - not accepted

Thanks for taking all the time to make your  points even though I didn't think you addressed my points.  Mr Abambo your reply proofs exactly what I said about the harrasment I always get from people here when I share my personal experience .

When you're giving bad advice to spam the system, someone needs to speak out. That is not harassment. Submitting the same picture multiple times, without addressing the issues, may get you banned. That is not my personal experience because I never got banned here.  

So again: submitting the same asset multiple times may be considered as spamming. I wouldn't say that correcting you is harassment. 

The bigger picture, in my point is that the two photos I shared were finally accepted after 3 submissions, and despite your opinion there're issues with them.

There are issues in your pictures, and they got refused multiple times for those issues. My guess is that you just got by chance the last time an inexperienced moderator at the end of their shift, when they were tired and just approved your pictures. That does not mean that there are no issues with those pictures. 

I had indeed one or two pictures accepted, despite that they should have been refused. In my case, it was because of IP issues, that the moderator did oversee. As soon as I detected the error, I deleted the assets. Moderation is done by humans, and humans err. The system does not allow for submitting your assets as often as needed to get them accepted. 

If you have never experienced rejection on photos, specially ones with shallow depth of field, then by your own admission you are giving advice based on what you haven't experienced, and I'm ok with that and don't care to opine about that.

Who says that I have never experienced rejections? My very first rejection: 

Since then, I experienced many more, as all of us have. Including some that you won't see any more, as they have been regrouped under “quality issues” to streamline the moderation process: 

im new to Adobe and decided that I wanted to be exclusive with one agency, now most of what they reject I submit to Getty since I wish to make my presence here long term, by submitting great work, and inspire others to to the same.

Sure. Adobe does not claim exclusive access to your pictures, and subscribers to Getty or other stock databases will not use Adobe stock. So if you want to diversify your sales, go ahead. Many other databases have less strict moderation, and they accept more assets. Some databases accept any submissions. Whatever makes you happy.

BTW, you're entitled to your opinion on Ramey's photo, and I COMPLETELY disagree.

And I'm sure difference in opinions are fine by me.

You may check my comments. I have not issued one opinion on whatever pictures OP did post here because he did not yet post one. He just posted a link to his portfolio. That's OK, but that does not prove that his pictures are good or bad. Indeed, you can't check the quality of the picture (maybe except for the composition) based on thumbnails. So you completely disagree with my opinion, which I have not yet made public. That is also a standpoint.

38 yr Professional Photographer

I first studied micro-electronics, that did not exactly include optics, but general physics included that field of competence, so I understand quite well all the aspects of a modern camera, including the limits in which they operate. Then I worked nearly 30 years as a graphics designer, and one of my tasks was to make bad pictures suitable for print. So I know a lot about how noise, exposure and DOF affect the work of graphic designers and how to check the pictures so that they are usable. During that time, I also worked as an industrial and architectural photographer, and occasionally as a portrait photographer. Many of my work has been published on websites and in brochures and annual reports. I know when a picture contains errors. That does not always mean that a picture is bad, it may be acceptable for this or that application.

But the buyer of a picture is entitled to get a picture that can be used in any situation for which they need the picture. Many buyers complain, when they get a bad picture and the pictures get removed and, in some cases, whole accounts get blocked. 

But yes, you are entitled to disagree, but only to opinions that I expressed.
