Photo 1: Burnded out highlights (the bright white sport), Artifacts around the top branch. The structure should be removed. The branch is not in focus. Leaves at the top right corner should be removed. What is the commercial value?

Photo 2: What is the commercial value? There are over 8 million "cloud background" images in the database.

Photo 3: What is the commercial value? The structure should be removed. The insect needs to be removed. The plant is not entirely in focus.

Photo 4: What is the commercial value? Burnded out highlights. The photo is underexposed. The plant is not in focus.

What would a buyer be searching for in these photos. I see no main saleable subject and see little use for a background photo. But, that is only my opinion. These look like they were taken with a low quality phone camera or through a window. If that was the case, you need to sharpen the images in post processing.

Most important, you need to make your images stand out. Here is a quick example of what you may want to do:

Now there are less than 400 "cloud with red ballon sunlight" images in the database.

Exposure problems and framing are issues in all assets.

Transferring the images via WhatsApp creates compression issues and other ordeals, you shouldn't do that. We would need the original quality as submitted. The images posted here all show severe compression artefacts.

Did you want any feedback on these images? This forum is not an image-sharing website! And beautiful is a matter of opinion here!

Noisy, blurry, blownout, underexposed, chromatic aberration, poor composition - these unedited snapshots are very far from the quality level that Adobe demands for stock photography. Read all of the info in the Learn & Support pages before you decide to submit any more images.
