Brighten up the photo a bit, straighten the minaret, and crop to a portrait version, you get a better composition.

 

However, with these corrections, I don't think the quality is good enough for Adobe Stock.

Hi @Maryam27399943k1w0 ,

The photo has excessive noise - both noise grains and chromatic noise. There is a a halo around the edges. There are lost details of the trees on the right. It is also underexposed.

You can learn more from the Stock Contributor Learn and Support, Create Better Photos For Adobe Stock and these tips that stock contributors need to learn.

 

Best wishes

Some noise in the sky. Sensor/dust spots in the sky. Leaning verticals. Underexposed shadows. Soft focus. Awkward composition. This would have been more pleasing if you had included more of the building and offset the tower using the rule of thirds rather than centering it.

  • The geometry needs to get corrected. The first thing you see is that the tower is not vertical. I suspect the horizon not being level, as other buildings are also leaning to the left.
  • Shadows need to be lifted to get the plants out of the dark.
  • Your colours are washed out. Fine details get lost. That's typical for phone pictures under challenging light situations.

The vertical perspective must be aligned straight. I suspect that you have not uploaded the original size here. The image is very small to asses everything well, but apparently it's quite blurry.

Hi Maryam,

 

I would post this picture on social media and feel happy with the many likes. I do not imagine this entering into Adobe stock anytime soon. Some defects can't be corrected.
