Reason for rejection

[nekon_nekon_nekon]

Please tell me why my photo is rejected.

This is a Japanese food called "motsuni udon".

What reason did Adobe give, please? They always give a reason. We can help you understand their reasons.

Thank you for your reply.
The results of Adobe's review were as follows;
"We couldn't add it to the collection because we found some technical issues."

First of all, you should have cropped evenly spaced on both sides.

Also, the depth of field and focus should have been deeper.

The highlights in the noodles are overexposed.

Thank you for your reply.

I didn't think it was such a strict review.
Equally spaced cropping, depth of field and focus, highlights ...
I will try to fix the image.

Thank you for your advice.

@nekon_nekon_nekon,

This isn't Instagram. 😉

Adobe Stock images are mainly used by professionals in commercial projects.  Speaking as a Stock customer and fan of Japanese cuisine, I wouldn't buy this image.  Sorry.  Please read my remarks about Food Photography from a few days ago.

Thank you for your reply and advice.

I read your remarks.
I have to change my consciousness and technique as you say.

I will try to fix the image.

The cropping may be a problem, but not the only one with picture. It is out of focus, contains a high noise level, the chalice in the background exposes an optical defect and is guiding the eye to the highlight there. In addition, the image is lacking contrast.

The picture needs to be interesting, but the image is missing the punch that is needed to make you want to eat what is on the plate.

Because of the lack of sharpness and the noise level, I doubt that this picture can be saved.

Thank you for your advice.

out of focus,high noise level,lacking contrast...

It was helpful to know the specific reason, with your advice.

I will do my best to fix the image.

Advices here are no rock science, we are (experienced) contributors, not moderators… So, we learned because of our refusals.

Thank you for your kind message. I will do my best.
