Hi, I have only submitted one image so far and it has been rejected. Can you please give your opinion on the reason for rejection? I had to significantly reduce resolution ot be able to post it in this forum.

Thanks a lot.

There is a lot of noise visible in this photo, even without zooming in to 100% view like the review team would.  This is also black and white image which isn't accepted for the most part.

I'm assuming Quality Issues was listed as the rejection reason?  Feel free to let me know if it was something other than this.  It's helpful to include this so we don't have to guess 🙂

If you haven't already, read through the Adobe Contributor User Guide and the Image Submission Guidelines 


Cheers!

    Thanks a lot for that swift reply. Yes, quality issues as indicated in the subject line :).
    The image I submitted here isn't the same resolution as the one I submitted, as there is a limitation in size in this forum. Can you please indicate where you can see the noise? I will then check vs the photo I submitted.

    Maybe it is the black and white issue which I wasn't aware of (by lack of reading the full guidelines, admittedly)

    I can absolutely confirm quality issues are present in the photo, although we never know for sure which of those an image is rejected for.

    After a second look there are also some exposure issues here, the blue in the screenshot represents the blacks that are clipped, red represent the whites that are clipped.  There aren't a lot of midtones in this image.  The bottom end of the toilet paper tube isn't in sharp focus as well, although I'm on the fence about whether thats important with this photo.  Adobe does tend to like main subjects mostly in focus.

     



    Here are the search results for "Toliet Paper Holder" on Adobe Stock.  It helps to see the top sellers to get a feel for what sells well:  https://stock.adobe.com/search?k=toilet+paper+holder&search_type=usertyped

    Good luck with your future submissions!  


    Thank you, George. You feedback is invaluable and driving me to watch out more closely for details:
