Why My photos are being rejected ?

[adarshg84395966]

I have taken the photos from Sony a6400 keeping main subject in focus , but still the photos are being rejected , can any one please tell the reason why they are being not accepted , so that i can improve from next time . 

Also i have heard , instead of .jpg file extension it should be .jpeg , is it so ? although both are same and it should not matter .

Please ignore 1st photo , you can check this one

Did you submit both? If yes, that could be considered as spamming. 

I agree with @jacquelingphoto2017, that your pictures exhibit technical issues and I agree with @Jaume28175635bywv, about the fitness for commercial use.

No i have not submitted both , since both were similar images , i uploaded incorrect one , and then later corrected it .

• No commercial value.
• Blurry focus.
• Adobe Stock have 29 million leaf assets, far more than demand warrants. 
  https://stock.adobe.com/search?k=leaf

Find more unique subjects to submit.  Compare your work with available inventory.  If you see that Stock already contains 20 million or more, don't submit.  If your quality isn't as good or better than what Stock has, don't submit. That will cut down on your rejection rate.

Adobe Stock customers expect the highest visual and technical quality for use in commercial projects.  Read these links.

Hi @adarshg84395966 ,

All your photos are underexposed. DSC00139 has a white balance issue. It seem to have an aqua tint. 

DSC0340 is noisy - both chromatic and luminance

Best wishes

You should ask yourself: would you buy these images? What do you think you could use them for?

Where did you hear that? .jpg is the dominant extension, as DOS computers did not allow for more characters. But .jpeg is as good, both are accepted. Anyhow, those things are checked during the upload, so you simply can't get that wrong. The original filename does not matter. The camera does not matter neither, even that with some cameras, meeting the quality standards is more difficult. Adobe does look only at the quality parameters.

And there are more parameters to meet than just focus. In all cases, you should tell us the refusal reason.

I will be honest. Your photos do not meet the standards. The focus should be better. The exposure should be better examined. The composition needs some work.

I.e. Photo 139 is too soft, the horizon is tilted, the photo is cluttered on the left and right side.

Photo 83 is not focused. The background is noisy. It is too dark. There are unwanted objects and a distracting shadow.

DSC00182.JPG - poorly lit and composed and the leaf is blurry. No commercial appeal

DSC00139 - leaning verticals, blurry. Probably would need a property release

DSC00083.JPG - poorly lit and composed, blurry. Would need a property release

IMG_0340.jpg - very underexposed, blurry and noisy 

 These snapshots do not meet the quality standards set out by Adobe Stock in the Help pages. Read all of those pages, and compare your images to others in the same keyword category before submitting any more assets.

Thank you so much for your responses @Jill_C , @RALPH_L , @Abambo , @jacquelingphoto2017  I am a beginner in photography and don't know much about these , are these parameters needs to be correct while shooting image from camera , or they can be corrected from lightroom , and how to know that i have done the proper settings for each image . Do i need to zoom and look for each parameter like noise etc.focus i can understand as it would not get blur . but to understand other things how i need to verify .

Focus, lighting and composition definitely need to be dealt with in the camera when you're shooting. Noise is a side effect of high ISO and can also be minimized in camera, though it can also be improved with editing software.
