Grain/noise problem?

[TheDoverLife]

Other stock photo companies approved many of the same images that Adobe rejected for excessive noise. In full resolution, this has much less noise than some that they accepted... what's the opinion of more experienced stock photographers? Can I resubmit and hope to get a second review?

Hi,

this picture have definitly problems in noise and sharpnesss. You never get accept this at Adobe. I,m interested in which Agency they does accept those kind of images. Tell us here if you want...

Thank you for your response, but it doesn’t help me. Can you tell me where the problems are? I don’t care as much about whether the photo is accepted or not, but I’d like to understand what is considered excessive noise, because this confuses me. I submitted this to shutterstock and there were no problems.

Hi,

you can see the noise problem in this detail of your picture:

Thank you. Any suggestions on how to fix that? I believe the ISO was set to 200. What do you personally do to avoid noise in the unfocused parts of a photo?

Hi,

You can find a lot of information about this topic on the internet, and I think your question will be answered....

Photos can be resubmitted once for another review correct? I‘ll be sure to work to remove the noise before I do it though.

HI,

the noise is not the only problem as I recommended before. What about the sharpness in the picture. You can´t correct this in any way.

The next question is where do you photograph this picture and if you do need a property realese? Is this taken in a museum? You are the owner of the subjekt that is shown and you have a copyright on this?

I understand that there are many problems with the picture. It was taken a while ago and I still have much to learn. I also now realize that it’s very likely that I need a release for that. It’s the engravings on a cannon at a public park in Spain. I would probably have to make a release to the local government of that town.

Thank you for the help.
