Adobe do not accept editorial pictures of people, some other agencies will do so. But editorial pictures greatly limit your market, because they cannot be used for promotion or advertising. You have other IP issues as well, such as a photo of an advertising hoarding, and maybe recognisable clothing brands or refrigerator. It is a powerful picture of human tragedy - would you really want it to be used to sell products....? Because that's the use you are offering it for.

PS This does not address the technical issue, I know, but Adobe only report one issue at a time. You will not get further even if you resolve all the tech issues...

I have already answered to your question.

I reckon what you are writing in this context, representing your personal
opinion, whom I honestly found a little hypocrite, sorry for my sincerity.
Adobe has written "technical issue" when it has rejected my image, nothing
concerning ethic code.

Therefore in my opinion, this is the point concerning the picture you don't
like.

Again regards,

Sprechen Sie deutsch? Ansonsten versuche ich es auf englisch:

I just read that ASt checks the photos in 100% size. When I looked at your photo in full size, I saw that the sitting black man on the wall looks like "washed out".

First of all a compliment to the great picture composition!

I often do not understand myself why my pictures are rejected. But with the attached picture it is perhaps the clouds that are not reproduced so correctly. Then: Photographs with people on them are always a bit problematic, because authorizations of the people shown have to be submitted.
The last not insignificant point is: Adobe Stock and Shutterstock already have so many pictures that I suspect that they don't want to accept all of them. I could imagine that they then partly (e.g. randomly) reject pictures with an arbitrary argument.

 

Zuerst einmal ein Kompliment an die super Bildkomposition!

Ich verstehe oft selber nicht, weswegen Bilder von mir abgelehnt werden. Aber bei dem angehängten Bild sind es vielleicht die Wolken, die nicht so korrekt wiedergegeben werden.

Dann: Fotografien mit Menschen darauf sind immer etwas problematisch, weil Autorisierungen der abgebildeten Menschen eingereicht werden müssen.
Der letzte nicht unbedeutende Punkt ist: Adobe Stock und Shutterstock haben schon so viele Bilder, dass ich den Verdacht habe, dass sie gar nicht mehr alle annehmen wollen. Ich könnte mir vorstellen, dass sie dann teilweise (z.B. nach Zufallsprinzip) mit einem willkürlichen Argument Bilder ablehnen.

Vielen Dank my friend.

Unfortunately I am a photojournalist, and my shots are based mostl on
people situations and social issues, but I would try to change my proposal
focusing on more unsual images with less people inside.

I also suspect StockAdobe tendency is refusing images shot with Android
system based devices.
Hope that is not the issue.

Auf Wiedersehen!
