"Quality Standards"

Hello! I'm trying to submit some graphics, but they have been rejected for not meeting "quality standards". And one of my images, "turtle.jpg" is apparently not meeting the resolution standard when it's at 600 pixels. Can I get some feedback?

Even if I'm for artistic freedom, some of this looks like quality issues to me:

 

If your turtle is at 600 pixels, that is hell not enough, but I think, you mean 600 pixels per inch (ppi), wich is a nonsense indication here. I can put the same picture at 100ppi, 200ppi and 1200ppi, without changing the asset a but. If you do not understand that parameter, just accept, that it is safe to be ignored. What is important for pixel pictures in stock is the pixel resolution, so meaning X pixels wide and Y pixels high. To be able to upload an asset, it needs to have at least 4Mpixels, so X*Y should result in a number bigger than 4,000,000.

So, the turtle is indeed not 4 megapixels. But it is beyond rescue. Take good look at the opposition - your rivals. https://stock.adobe.com/uk/search?filters%5Bcontent_type%3Aphoto%5D=1&filters%5Bcontent_type%3Aillustration%5D=1&filters%5Bcontent_type%3Azip_vector%5D=1&filters%5Bcontent_type%3Avideo%5D=1&filters%5Bcontent_type%3Atemplate%5D=1&filters%5Bcontent_type%3A3d%5D=1&filters%5Bcontent_type%3Aimage%5D=1&k=turtle+illustration&order=relevance&safe_search=1&search_page=1&search_type=usertyped&acp=&aco=turtle+illustration&get_facets=0

What people post here and submit is two pairs of shoes! But chances are, that the asset is too small for submission. This, however, will be caught at the uploading, not later at the moderation level. And that will not generate a refusal.

turtle_ameira.jpg The lines go outside the design and are poorly erased. The turtle's legs are not properly attached.

alohalicense_ameira.jpg - the sloping edges are very jagged 

guysit_ameira.jpg - this one has a watermark which isn't allowed

I see some problems with all of these.  Have you compared your work with current Stock Inventory in your keyword category to see what your competition is doing?

 

Which software did you use?

 

1.  No signatures allowed. 

2.  Jagged rainbow lines on license plate. 

 

Review the submission guidelines again carefully.  For graphics such as these, you should be submitting Vector Graphics in .ai, .eps or .svg file type.

 

Hope that helps.
