You know the refusal reason. Adobe did tell you. You should give us that reason (header only!). My guess is: Quality issues.

 

I wonder why you have this outline around the tree:

That is a quality issue.

You could (or should) indeed lift the shadows so that you get more structure

The image is beautifu, no doubt about that.

After taking a closer look I see several reasnos why it was rejected.

You enlarged the photo almost 76x43 at 72dpi, that's like putting a 60psi to a car tire. When you enlarge the photo to actual size in photoshop, you can see it inmediately. You have no metadata in the image, which to adobe is a red flag, not only bc of origin but bc it's a sign you went the wrong way editing the photo.

The photo is fine for web use, but you have to remember Adobe is selling for any usage, and unfortunately I am sure they wish the image did not have this issues.

As a rule of thumb, always shoot in raw, and if your going to enlarge the photo avoid going past 2x

Don't get discourage, the photo tells me you have a great eye!

Let me know if you need more tips.

This is nonsense. The DPI (indeed, it is PPI: pixels per inch, there are no dots in a pixel image) value has absolutely no effect on a picture. You can set it to any value from 1 to 100,000 without changing a bit of the image. The only value that is important in pixel images is the resolution in pixels. That resolution is OK here.

That too is nonsense. Adobe does not require you to include camera data, even though I find that camera data provides valuable information on the camera, lens, and settings when taking the picture. I will be able to counsel on that more easily with this additional information.

    You have your opinions and I have mine.

    The bottom line is that the picture has been stretched too much, that is more than clear. The attached photos are screen shots at Photoshop "Actual Size"  the tree photo gets all pixelated from the over enlargement. 

    Regarding image metadata, the point I made is about the worng manner the image was enlarged, and it's a  red flag in my book, and "probably also for any stock agency.  

    All it's good Bambo, just keep the emotions at a minimum, you can try something without calling other opinions "nonesense", I'm sure we can agree we are here to help anyone asking for help, not to display our egos.

    Have a great day!

    The shadow area of the tree and grass is underexposed. You should also consider using the Rule of Thirds and reduce the area of sky without details. Format 3:1 works well.
