Hi, this picture above was rejected for having Technical Issues.
If this photo is not good for selling, or not interesting, that's totally fine!
But it doesn't fit in any of the descriptions of "technical issues"
- It's not out of focus (it's an abstract image), the focus is sharp where I wanted. The small DOF is clearly intentional.
- There are no artifacts;
- It has the right exposure
- It has a good resolution.
I just would like to understand it better, so I don't make the same mistake.
Thank you!
Hi, well, I kinda disagree with Jacquelin and Joan to a certain point. The Techincial Issues that Adobe chose, would come under exposure, saturartion and contrast - bearing in mind that you uploaded as a photo? Focus is another category.
You should really have a read of this, plus other material from Adobe:

Awesome answer... you're totally right! That was the answer I'd like to hear... it's more an artistic issue than a technical issue, so.
Now I got it.
Thank you!

Hi wolfwagner
I agree with Joan's analysis. As it is I cannot figure out what image it is. It appears as though it's an abstract, or a photo that special effect is applied. If we cannot figure it out, the buyers won't. Therefore the chance of this image selling is extremely limited, or possibly none at all. If it's abstract, there are too much blacks. If it's a night picture, it has too much saturation and lacking essential details. In addition to the links Joan refer, you also need to look at the Adobe Stock Contributor Guide at tagproducts_SG_STOCK-CONTRIBUTOR_i18nKeyHelppagetitle .
Best wishes

Quality and technical issues rejected at Adobe Stock
When we reject a file based on technical issues, we have identified technical flaws other than focus, exposure, or artifacts, which we call out specifically.
White balance: The white balance may be too warm or too cool.
Note:
When you shoot in raw formats, you have great flexibility to adjust the white balance in your post-processing workflows.
Contrast: There may be too much or not enough contrast.
Saturation: Oversaturation may give your file an unnatural look, but under-saturated or spot color can also result in technical decline.
Note:
You may want to try the Vibrance slider instead of Saturation in Lightroom.
Selections: Editing must be done inconspicuously. Selecting objects out of their backgrounds (or masking) to composite into new images requires time, patience, and care. Do not submit images that have been poorly selected or look like they are not a natural part of the scene.
Chromatic aberration: Refers to color fringing around objects in the image.
General composition: Is your horizon straight? Have you cropped the image too much? Consider leaving a designer room to add their own text or objects.
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
You'll see why then - although you may disagree with this - that it got a 'Technical Issue' rejection.
It has too much contrast and saturation.
Technical Issues and artistic abstraction are totally two different things. Here the upload is being looked at it from a technical viewpoint.
