Hi,
I'm new to contributing at Adobe Stock and have had several images accepted into the program. Some of my images have come back rejected on technical or non-compliance issues and I would love some feedback to help me understand how I can make my images more acceptable. Thanks in advance for any advice you can provide.
The following were rejected for Technical Reasons
This image was rejected as non-compliant. I see there is much more provocative content in the contributions, so I am curious as to what I am missing.
Again, thanks for any help you can provide. Just trying to learn the ropes.
All the best,
W. Ross Wells

Hi W Ross,
I will say you have some unique and interesting photos posted here. Since this is a group and would require many specific answers, I would give you a general reply and just a couple of specifics. Three of these photos have sun giving off too much white glare. Tone these down and the photos might be fine. Also a little strong on the saturation in most.
Now the general statement. If you sincerely intend to learn "the ropes" then you must learn the guidelines and comply with those. So, I will send you to these excellent information links. Use the guidelines as you examine your work and I am sure you will see why the rejections occurred. Don't forget to study your photos at least 100% magnification to see noise and artifacts which will also get work rejected. I enjoyed all these photos and hope you will fix them and resubmit. Congrats on those that were accepted. Regards, JH

Hi there,
1st photo - I think white balance could be an issue, it is a bit too yellow and a bit too much saturation and contrast. You should tone these down a tad and not have it looking quite so yellow.
2nd photo - you have lens flare on the girls hair/neck - the green spot!, and again white balance is an issue I think.
3rd photo- if you look on the edges of the trees, I can see a bit of purple fringing - this is chromatic aberration. You can remove this in Lightroom for example (if you use that programme).
4th photo - Perhaps white balance a tad, and overall tone of the photo. I would also carefully examine your edges on here as well to check for chromatic aberration. Your sample photos are a bit small for me to examine close up.
As Joan said, ALWAYS examine your photos at 100% (or even more) and check carefully the edges of the photos, especially if there is a lot of bright areas. (Some lenses are more prone to having more chromatic aberration than others.)
As for you final image - you have to look to see what may be non-compliant as there is something. Keywords for example can come under this category.
