This photo was rejected. Think with me.

Having 200+ accepted photos in the last two month and 40 rejected I usually can figure out why a photo is rejected. But a little in the blanks about this one. What do you think? I suspect the focus on the tree?

Indeed, it's hard to find anything in focus in this image.

Thanks for the input 😅.  That's the issue.

Hello,

Yeah, it's the focus - being the most obvious. The focus should be the other way round - less on the tree and more on the background.

In addition to what has been said: There is also much noise in the picture, and it could handle a white balance correction.

This is purely a guess on my part, but I assume most people using Adobe Stock are using it in Photoshop in some way, although I don't assume that 100%.  So I like to think of it like this:. How would someone pull this into Photoshop and use it?
