Rejection due to quality

What needs to be done on each specific photo?

Hi,

I assume that the pictures are technical not as good as others. The Outdoor photos are overexposed and the shadows are very dark without structure. Most Images are not have an advertising character or have no good composition.

Before you submit, please review the submission guidelines carefully and compare your work with other Stock inventory. To be accepted, your work should be as good or better than what's already represented in your keyword category.

No, it didn't help. I asked for specific tips for each photo. Sorry, anyone can give such general advice.

No idea what this is or why anyone would buy it. That said, the Histogram panel in Photoshop shows major lighting deficits.

This one has the the opposite lighting issue and noticeable focus problems.

The other ones are not Stock-worthy for reasons of poor composition, lighting and focus.

DSC_0068.jpg - depth of field is too shallow and the angle at which this object is photographed causes too much of it to be out of focus.

GOT01648.jpg - underexposed in the shadows, and I think it lacks commercial appeal

GOT01683.jpg - lens flare has caused an uneven exposure 

GOT02034.jpg - artifacts in the sky. Composition should have fully included the figures on the left side rather than cutting them off.

GOT01598.jpg - white balance is too blue

Out of the 5 photos posted, I looked in depth at GOT02034 and here is what I noticed:

• One of the statues was cut off at the edge of the frame.
• Several of the statues were blurry, likely because of a shallow depth of field.
• The histogram reflected the image being too bright, and it was lacking contrast from my perspective.  This may be correctable by adjusting the exposure, mainly the blacks and shadows.
• The sky is too bright and lacking detail to me.
• There is a lot of banding and artifacts in the sky.
• There is what appears to be a red brick structure in the distance behind the statues, this would be best removed in my opinion.
• I believe this composition of this photo isn't arranged well.  I would explore more perspectives and perhaps photograph fewer of the statues.

Hope that helps!
