Rejection Reason

[Sibel_�?retmen]

Hello to everyone,

My works have been rejected due to the quality issues. I haven't see any quality problem, can you tell me?

Thank you.

Did you have at least one or two assets accepted that were similar to these? It's a general rule that you should not submit more than three distinct images from a series.

[Sibel_�?retmen]

No, all of the assets are rejected.

There is way too much red in the images, and at least some of the pencils and the cactus gives you IP problems.

The text seems to be flawed in this one:

and this one displays chroma noise in the background:

Thank you very much.

I don't know what these items have to do with each other or why you combined them.

But two things leap out. The exposure is clipped. And white balance is not white, it's a dull pink color. 

See Histogram panel. Shadows, midtones & highlights are missing. Those pixels can't be recovered. Reshoot the photo with better lighting.

Thank you for your feedback.

Hi @Sibel_�?retmen ,

These are all similar. If I understand you correctly that absolutely all you assets were refused, you could try resubmitting two of these. However, there are other issues with your files. You have a composition issue. Most of your pictures are poorly composed. You need to have a subject that the buyer can clearly identify as the subject of your picture. If you are creating an image to be used as a border, it must be clear that that's the purpose of the image. Many of your files have white balance issue and are not in sharp focus.

The two best files I see here are files ending with 1456 and 1501.

Both files have white balance issues. They have a pink tint. They are not as sharp as they probably could, but depending on who looks on them. If you have assets with the same subject accepted already, do not resubmit them.

Best wishes

Jacquelin

I edited this asset in Photoshop. I extended the highlights and shadows and color-corrected the pinkish cast. Would the changes result in an acceptance? That can't be guaranteed, but each of these assets need similar editing steps.

When I adjusted levels in Photoshop, chromatic aberration formed around edges of the black folio.

I would do this over with 1) better set-up and 2) clearer concepts.

[daniellei4510]

Certainly possible. What's lost is lost. I have other issues with the concepts in any case, most notably your comment that the combination of objects is illogical. And the overall color cast, as it's so consistent throughout the series, I suspect has something to do with the original lighting setup.

I only took a close look at thow shots...  on 1474 you need more depth of field, the coffee bubbles are sharp but not the note pad or pen, which my mind makes the main subjects.

Also, the white background has way too much magenta in all the photos.

Solutions: 1- If you are using auto white balance, I strongly recommend you don't, become familiar with the color temp. of the lights you are using, and use K white balance setting based on that.

Shoot some test, look in the computer until you get the Kelvin degrees that gives you the whitest/cleanest tone.  2- To gain focus you can use different formulas, I'd increase the ISO to 125 or even 200,  and assuming and you are using a tripod (a must) lower the shutter to around 1/20  this way you will gain about 4 stops and shoot at f22 or more, this may be enough to give you all the depth of field you need. But you can also stand the sand clock, and focus on the top of it, that will give you a mid point of focus, and the depth of field will definitely cover the rest.

One last thing, I don't know what you are thinking when you combine the elements you choose to use, what matters is that the you are thinking, and to me they have harmony and illustrate something someone will want to buy. So I encourage to continue thinking intuitively to what you like, if buyers don't care for it today, in my book you are definitely on the right track.

Don't let anyone steal your dreams!
