Hello community, I am new in adobe stock and photography. I tried for the first time to upload my photos and I was surprised that some of my photos was not accepted! Can someone help me to figure out why it was not accepted so that I can improve my work ?
Your first shot has logotypes of trademarks (Leonidas for example) and it's prohibited.
The second has a strange HDR look like and Adobe dont likes it.

Hello,
What was the rejection reason given? I suspect it was connected with IP releases.

It was rejected for "technical issues". But there is no more informations.

Adobe are looking for photos to the highest professional standard, suitable for a million dollar ad campaign. I'd be surprised if someone new to photography could get anything accepted for their first year of study.

Hi,
I am in my first year of study, and have just had a bunch of my photo's accepted, so yes it is possible.
To be fair: a lot of my submissions did not get accepted 😄
But yes, Adobe is very strict and it might take some time figuring out what is wrong with some of the photo's as a beginner... it's all part of the learning process.

Adobe Stock is selling commercial licenses. To this, you need to avoid any intellectual property which includes trademarked brand names, logos, etc.
Even without the logos you would need to submit a signed property release for the space. This is likely the rejection reason for the second file also as the property is clearly identifiable.
Please review our legal guidelines HERE for additional information.
Kind regards,

In addition to what has been said before:
There are multiple refusal reasons. The moderator chooses the first he sees. Besides the IP problems pointed out by Mat, pictures need to be technically correct. The second image shows it's faults evne like that: Colour noise, not sharp, oversaturated. The first one, you need to have a more precise look at the picture. Viewing the image at 100%, you saee that the colours are washed out probably due to agressive noise reduction.
