Why have these photos been rejected?

[victor_sangar]

A few days ago, I uploaded the attached photos, and all of them were rejected. Could you please tell me why? Recently, Adobe has approved most of my content quickly, so I don’t understand this rejection.

Thank you for your help!

I've forgotten to say that the reason of rejection is quality problems

Focus, it seems you used a slow shutter speed to get the soft wave action, but this has also resulted in not a sharp photo:

Signs of camera shake.

Also, the sun: overexposed area - a bit too much:

Throughout the photos, the images are not sharp.

Did you hand-hold these shots, or did you use a tripod?

Your EXIF data shows a shutter speed of 1/13sec.

Have you checked the images at 100%?

It looks like some of the photos have blur caused by camera movement,

small aperture blur caused by stopping down the lens too much,

or are out of focus.

You will remove these photos before posting.

Definitely, it is this soft focus that makes this asset unsuitable for stock.

Even as you have some clipping in the whites that could be nicely addressed, I am not convinced that this was the deciding reason for the refusal. I also would think that you used a tripod, as B4A6759 shows a shutter speed of 3.2 s. I would guess that hand-held shooting would result in much worse camera shake. That lets me think that the autofocus did not work as it should or as you intended.

With B4A6790, you also have a hot pixel to correct, and some noise in the background:

I looked at the first photo and this is what I see.

This type of landscape should not be in a rectangular format. Use a landsacape format. Such as 3:1. Your photo is overexposed and there are no blacks. Use the histogram. The highlighted areas are overexposed and there are no details. These areas need to be filled in. The colors are undersaturated.
Here an example to show you what I mean.

I think, however, that here the colours are somehow oversaturated. I agree with the underexposure, however.

The asset could get acceptance with the right parameters.

And there is a small hot pixel in this picture that needs attention:

The shadows could be opened up.
