I am fairly new to Adobe but have used a boutique stock site for a few years. This photo was rejected for technical reasons by Adobe, but was my biggest seller on the other site and was even used in a couple of national magazines. Just trying to learn -- any thoughts?
Hi,
The main issue is probably the blown out highlights on the side of the forehead.
Hope that helps,
Michael

Examine your image at 100-300% magnification.
Also a model release must be signed by parent or guardian.
Adobe Stock customers expect the highest visual and technical quality for use in commercial projects.
Better luck with your next submission. 🙂

In addition to what has already been said, the photographer should not be vissibe in the eyes.

Hello,
Different microstock sites have differing acceptance levels. There are a lot of contributers now, so the market is huge! So, the quality has to be very good now, and in your picture, there are a few reasons that would be cause for rejection as pointed out!
