Question

Rejection, what’s wrong with these pictures?

I uploaded these photos only yesterday and today they were rejected, funnily enough it's a batch of 4 pictures, and only three have been rejected for some reason, they're all extremely similar with the one NOT rejected until now being almost identical.

I've looked thouroughly through them again and I can't seem to find a reason why they're lacking in quality, maybe they should be more cropped?

Hi @stefan27224571nsyo ,

The first three files are underexposed, seem noisy and have white balance issue. The pictures are too blue. The white should look white.

The white balance of the fourth file improved, but is still a bit blue. The grainy look is still on the brown section of the frame and it is still underexposed.

Another thing, these are too similar. "Every file you submit needs to offer something unique. Submitting multiple copies of identical or similar content can be perceived as spamming. Our moderation team will reject similar content, and spamming can lead to your account being blocked or permanently closed."

The also probably don't pass the rules on flags. Country flags are ok (except Singapore) but any regional, state or heraldic flags aren't allowed.

In addition, they all have a sensor spot. Either on the left or in the middle.

With Sensorspots you mean the black spots? I was wondering what those were and thought they were dust in the lens, you reckon they're more likely to be dust on the sensor itself?

Hello,

Yes, sensor spots, dust spots, dust bunnies... all refer to dust on the sensor, which actually isn't on the sensor itself, but the filter covering the sensor. This can be blown off with a blower brush, some cameras come with a 'sensor cleaning' option, and the last resort is to clean it yourself manually. But you have to know what you are doing for this!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! It's not dust on the lens.

However, the easiest option is to just clone them out in your photo editing application. Lightroom has an option for this.

The dust occurs when changing lenses - it's a common problem.

I pushed up the highlights and opened the shadows, and tweaked the contrast. There was also some slight keystoning on the brown building that I corrected in this example.

Some editing is what I should've done before uploading is what I think was the problem, picture looks great, I'll definetly be using it as a reference! 😉

DSCF8014.JPG - shadows are underexposed. Flag is overexposed.

The others are essentially identical except for the aspect ratio in the first one.
but all should have been rejected for quality anyway.
