Rejected photo due to technical issues... Could anyone give me some feedback?

[Daniela Alchapar]

Hello everyone! I'm new in this comunity, so it's not very clear for me yet why Adobe would reject some of my uploaded pictures. A few of them were quite noisy, so I get that, but in the case of this forget-me-not flowers I really don't underestand... Any help would be appreciated! Thanks a lot in advance!

Look into the sharpness. The sharpest part is somewhere on the stem, but all the flowers are out of focus. Or, if you want to participate in the highly competitive flower-picture-market, you need to shoot perfect pictures with a wow-effect. And the important parts of your pictures need to be perfectly sharp. The blossom is the most important part with flowers.

Too blurry for commercial use.   Your Depth-of-field is too narrow. 

Get a tripod and practice shooting the same picture at various camera settings.  See below for a better understanding of what Depth-of-Field means and why it's important.

Hope that helps.

Hi @Daniela Alchapar , 

Too much of you subject is out of focus. Also there is blue color fringing around the edge of the lighter color flowers. I am trying to decide if it's a blue flower or white. If it's a white flower it's blue because there is a white balance issue.

Best wishes
