Quality Issues

[Daffodils 1]

I’ve been submitting photos to Adobe Stock, but many of them keep getting rejected for quality issues. 

Could someone help me figure out what might be causing these rejections?

Are there specific things Adobe reviewers usually look for when flagging “quality issues”?

I can share a few sample images if that helps. Any feedback or tips would be greatly appreciated!

The flowers are out of focus at the top. Depth of field should be less shallow so that the frame made by the composition of the image is in sharp focus.

Are you comparing your best work with available Stock inventory before you submit?

Stock contains over 800 million assets. They're being more selective about what they accept.

The first one is not well composed and mostly out of focus.

The second one could be cropped a little tighter.

The subject in the third one is out of focus and the frame could have been cropped tighter.

Your first and your last are not sharp, and you did even not post the original size pictures. The butterfly has artefacts that let me think that it is a cell phone picture. There is partially no detail, especially around the head of the insect.

Hi @Daffodils 1 

The first and last images have what appears to be compression noise around the edges. The forefront of the first photo is out of focus. You need to capture what's in the forefront with a camera depth of field settings that will capture your entire subject in sharp focus.

 The butterfly is not completely sharp.
