Rejected Photos.

[MsScorpio]

I sent in a batch of photos and akk were rejected. I thought that it was because they were taken with an Olympus SP100 and not a DSLR. I sent in another batch and they were all rejected as well but these were taken with a DSLR. These ones had been accepted by Alamy who have fairly high standards so I was a bit surprised that these got rejected. If anyone can tell me the problems I will be happy. Ihave uploaded the ones here that were taken with DSLR.

What were the rejection reasons Adobe Stock gave you?

Assuming the rejection reason was Technical Issues, examine your images at 100-300% magnification.  There is quite a bit of color noise in #1 and #3.

1) noise and blown out highlights - many of those white bits of rope have no detail whatsoever

2) nothing in sharp focus and some blown highlights

3) very noisy, and some blown highlights

So, just because you have good and expensive pots does mean your soup is not over-salted? Of course, good cameras take technically better pictures (especially in poor lighting conditions) but a camera with worse technology (less sophisticated lenses, smaller sensor), can still take perfect pictures. It's just that all images are examined according to the same strict standards. If you are new to stock, you should consider these resources: https://helpx.adobe.com/stock/contributor/tutorials.html

I am not convinced that Alamy has such a high standard. I never had a refusal from them. And most of my Adobe refusals, accepted by Alamy got refused with reason.
