rejected for technical reasons. Exactly why?

[Evgenia Slobodnik]

I tried to upload 5 photos. All of them was rejected. I believe: there are experienced members. Please find time to chek my works and to say what is wrong and what should be fixed:

Focus is the main issue. The photos are too soft. The name Marlboro cannot be displayed.

Adobe Stock customers come here expecting the highest visual and technical quality for use in their own commercial projects. 

Suggest you take some photography courses at school or online to learn more about photographic technique:  depth-of-field, lighting, focus, composition, and post editing in Lightroom or Photoshop.

Hi @Evgenia Slobodnik ,

All your photos aren't properly focused.

The second has too much negative space, green color fringing on the stem of the flower and is underexposed.

The third is lacking vibrancy and has an IP issue. I do not think taking the subjects within the mesh is a good idea.

The fourth is also underexposed and noisy.

The fifth has color fringing on the edges.

In the future please do not duplicate a question post. It might be viewed as spam.

Thank you for such a detailed answer!  Can you, please, chek new variant of the fifth photo? Is it better? Is it ok? Am I going in the right direction?

Hi @Evgenia Slobodnik ,

You need to have the model resit this shot. There's not enough depth of field. Details are lost where the neck connects to the shoulder. The customer must be able to crop your image out of its background easily with smooth edges.

The green color fringe is still on the back, and is even brighter than it was the first time around. 

Please zoom in at between 100 and 200% on your file and inspect it in details for faults before uploading.
