Why the censors when rejecting photos do not give any details?

[Lucas Zone]

My question is: How can I uncover the reasons behind a photo's rejection by the censors? The feedback I receive is disappointingly generic, merely citing quality or technical issues. When I explore the website intended to clarify these matters, I find the information to be just as vague and unsatisfactory. Is there a way to directly reach out to the censors to gain a clearer understanding of what specifically went wrong with the images? It would be immensely helpful if they could provide more detailed feedback.

The answer is quite simple. It is not their job to teach you photography or graphic design and they do not have the time to do so. Reading the tutorials on the Adobe website and asking the members of this community can also help.
Post one or two rejected assets and we can guide you through what problems might exist.

The moderators (not censors as they do not censor your assets, but they moderate the submissions) need to work fast, so they have only limited possibilities to mark your asset, when it gets refused. Writing an indepth critique of your assets would cost minutes to hours. And that would assume, that they write in a language that you understand. 

Assets get refused at the first error, the moderator sees. There is no need to continue, but that also would mean, that if you get a marked refusal with "look here is your error", you would correct that and resubmit, just to get a new refusal for a different error, or the same error at a different place.

And a last argument: moderation is not done to make you happy and a better submitter, but to protect buyers from bad assets. As a contributor, you are supposed to contribute assets that comply with all quality requirements that a professional would expect. And contrary to what you say: the web site gives good indications at what to look at. If you do not understand that, you should post one of your refused assets, and experienced contributors will have a look at your asset and give you an in depth analysis of your asset. 

There is no way to reach out to moderators.

Adobe does not provide a means for you to dispute the findings of the Moderators; if they did so, surely moderation would grind to a halt as every Contributor would want a second chance to defend their work... However, Adobe has provided this forum for you to receive feedback from other experienced Contributors as to the possible reasons for rejection. Upload a couple of your rejected images here and the community members will provide their feedback.

Adobe Stock is a collection of assets - photos, illustrations, vectors, AI, etc. It's not a teaching website.

You have to submit quality assets. 

To get some feedback, there is this community which can be of help. 😁

Here, you might be able to uncover the reasons behind a photo's rejection by the 'censors' - a better word used in English, moderators.

• Stock receives thousands of submissions per week. 
• Reviewers have a Herculean task to keep up with the workload.  
• Adobe has neither the time nor manpower to give detailed feedback to every contributor. If they did, nothing would get reviewed. 😥

Photography is evaluated on the basis of Technical as well as Visual quality.

Technical Quality:

Resolution: The detail and sharpness of the image, measured in pixels or megapixels.

Noise: Random pixel variations that can appear as graininess, especially in low-light conditions.

Dynamic Range: The ability of the image to capture details in both the brightest and darkest areas simultaneously.

Color Fidelity: The accuracy and naturalness of colors in the image.

Sharpness: How clearly the edges and details are rendered in the image.

Exposure: The correct amount of light captured by the camera, avoiding overexposure or underexposure .

White Balance: Ensuring that colors appear natural and not skewed by the lighting conditions.

Focus: Depth of field, the extent to which objects in the foreground & background are in focus.

Compression Artifacts: Distortions that can occur when images are compressed, or taken with a small sensor camera like a phone.

Visual Quality:

Composition: The arrangement of elements within the frame, using rules like the rule of thirds , leading lines, and symmetry.

Lighting: The quality and direction of light, which can create mood and highlight certain elements.

Color and Tone: The use of color, contrast, and tonality to create visual impact and evoke emotions.

Subject Matter: The choice of what to photograph and how it relates to the overall message of the image.

Point of View: The angle and perspective from which the image is taken.

Aesthetic Appeal: The overall visual impact and beauty of the image.

Storytelling: The ability of the image to convey a message or evoke an emotional response.
