Rejected .jpegs

Why do the reject these .jpeg?

Files come from out of the camera directly,  no post production.

Hello,

There are quite a few quality issues here—exposure, composition, and so on.

You also need to do some post-production—to use software like Lightroom, Photoshop and similar to make adjustments to exposure, white balance, correcting the perspective, altering the tone, etc. A photo is rarely good enough to come 'straight out of the camera'.

The only type of photo that literally came straight out of the camera was the Polaroid!

It is also important to think about the commercial value of your photos. How will they be used?

Thank you very much for your reply.
Yes, I was aware that there were mistakes, but I just wanted to better understand what criteria were evaluated for the choice of photographs.

Thank you again

Virtually all images require at least minimal editing, particularly if you're capturing in RAW format, which is preferable. There is no virtue in avoiding post production, and indeed Buyers want fully edited images so that they don't have to do the editing themselves.
