Rejected ?

[Lawrence27496345dxk3]

I can't for the life of me determine why Adobe is rejecting my images - 5387 x 5464 300dpi image is sharp as a tack and from my R5 Canon - ANY IDEAS? BTW I have tried several different changes from the save mode in Lightroom for higher resolution and lower resolution - changed different images with all different settings - followed the recommodations for proper setting but still rejected - something else must be going on. Thank you 🙂

What about noise?

Should my image be void of my logo/watermark? Could that be why it is getting rejected?

Your logo/watermark is an absolute no-go!

Your logos and watermarks are "Non-compliant Image" refusals. Logos in images (like a carmaker's logo, a cloth maker's logo) are getting refused as "Intellectual Property Refusal".

You mentioned "noise" Are you referring to the noise from a 500% enlargement? I would have to believe that any image enlarged that much would show noise...

There is substantial noise even at 100%, and I believe you should also remove the watermark.

Thank you for your reply - I'll give it a try...

My screenshot is at 100% or 200%. I sometimes go to 300%, but that is only to confirm what I see at 200% and sense at 100%.

I highly recommend a careful read of the submission guidelines, especially the DOs & DON'Ts.  Stock photos must not contain watermarks or signatures.

Better luck with your next submission. 🙂

The inclusion of your watermark is the obvious reason. I didn't zoom in and inspect it any further. It's a beautiful bird !

Hi,

I would assume its the Noise and the Watermark. Please take a look at the links that are provided and also take a look at other pictures. Hope that helps.

What was the actual reason? Non-compliance? If so, then absolutely, do not include the watermark!!

Perhaps you could try some noise reduction in the background via masking.

Very noisy, the eye is not sharp and the logo signature is not allowed.
