Curious why an image like this would get rejected. I provided model releases for both models as well as witness signatures, etc.

Hi @romancephotos ,

You did not say what was the reason for rejection that was given to you.

These are really nice images - well focused. The cropping is a bit too tight. Cropping the man is not an ideal composition.

You need to add more light in the shadow areas. Also the highlights are a bit too high. You probably could add just a slight warmth.

There is a slight blue cast in the shadow area. That shows in the woman's face. And on the man's fist.

The highlights is too high causing details to be lost at some edges.

I can see that you tried to utilize lighting. However you might need to improve with the use of fill lights so that you do not have very black (harsh, hard) shadow areas in your photos.

There is always a refusal reason given. If I remember well, there are 10 different reasons that are sent out when a picture gets refused. The moderator, however, selects only the first reason he or she sees.

These are only some of the refusals I got. The reason is quite broad, but nevertheless it's a hint where you need to look.

From what I see: You have a problem with the white balance. Also, to a lesser extent: Give room to the left and right and the top of the pictures.

JG, they didn't say the reason why they rejected them, just that they are rejected... But it's not just those that got denied... Here are some from that set that they declined as well... I consider my work to be high quality so I am lost on this one...
