Üdv István! Nekem két hete egy napon belül kivétel nélkül mindent visszadob! Olyan fotót is, amit már egyszer elfogadott. Nem értem.....:-(

Szai Mari! Köszi szépen a gyors visszajelzést! Én teljesen új vagyok itt, de ahogy átnéztem a témáimban a kint lévő, befogadott anyagokat, nem látom az érdemi különbséget. Igaz, nem is látom teljes felbontásban a képeket, de azért van néhány hajmeresztő darab, amihez nem kell a teljes felbontás, hogy lássam hogy távolról sem "tökéletes". Nem vagyok profi fotós, simán elképzelhetőnek tartom, hogy elbénáztam valami akár mind a 30 képemnél, de azért jó lenne tudni, hogy mire gondolhatott a költő, mert ez így eléggé deprimáló.

Én hetek óta teszek fel 4-5 fotót, nézem a keresett témákat, igyekszem
megfelelni, de mindent, mondom mindent! visszadobnak. Ami azért is furcsa,
mert tavaly egy hirtelen ötlettől vezérelve feltettem kb 45 képet, mindet
elfogadták! Igen deprimàló.

Szia, még csak egy kérdés: te hová írtál kérdést, hogy miért utasítottak el? Nem találom a lehetőséget. Eddig még nem kérdeztem meg, lehet, meg kellene. Látom, neked írtak részleteket 🙂

Sehova nem írtam kérdést, mert nem találtam ilyen lehetőséget, illetve azt vettem ki az elutasító egyenszövegből, hogy a kérdéseimmel inkább ide forduélja, hogy majd a community segít megfejteni a dolgot.

Hello,

'faoletes' -- you need to correct the white balance; it is too green.

gramofonok - perhaps IP (Intellectual Property) issues, composition... 

When you take photos for stock, you need to know what you want to shoot and its purpose. What will people use it for? The subject needs to be clear and to show a concept.

For the nighttime shot - again, correct the white balance/colour temperature, as well as the vertical lines on the monument.

E.g.:

Some info about white balance.

Check your histogram. Too much pure black. Also, leaning verticals.

Thank you very much, especially for the histogram idea.

But this is a perspective distortion that I see in a lot of approved images.
I was shooting on the floor, so it's intentional, and it's quite difficult to take a picture with parallel verticals from this position.

The leaning verticals issue is probably a matter of how picky the moderator is who is reviewing your assets. Myself, I don't leave anything to chance anymore. Bottom line, it's something that can be corrected.

True, and that's where software correction comes in with photo editing software, e.g. Adobe's Lightroom or Photoshop. The perspective can mostly be corrected.

When taking such shots, bear in mind to give yourself some space so that you can make perspective corrections.

Hi @cs.istvan ,

You need to zoom in on you images to between 100 and 200% to inspect them for issues. 

The first image has noise grains, color noise, color fringing, is under exposed and the perspective needs correcting.

jacquelingphoto2017_1-1758746960305.png

Your colors should be smooth.

The second file is also noisy, not sharp on the edges and has a green tint.

jacquelingphoto2017_2-1758747073501.png

The third photo has too much of a high highlights and also has color fringing.

jacquelingphoto2017_3-1758747250922.png

The fourth photo is underexposed and details are lost in the shadows.

Tone done the exposure of the fifth image a bit.

jacquelingphoto2017_4-1758747606783.png

The sixth photo has blur caused by either camera shake of slow shutter speed on a windy day.

Best wishes

Jacquelin

Image 2676 is nothing special. Compare yours with similar stone, rock and pebble paver assets in Stock's inventory. 

Is yours better than what Stock has now? 

https://stock.adobe.com/search?k=pebble+pavers

https://stock.adobe.com/search?k=stone+pavers

https://stock.adobe.com/search?k=rock+pavers

 

As a customer, would you buy this for commercial use in professional projects?

 

Read your Stock Contributor User Guide for more tips.

Hope that helps.
