The image you have shown is very pixilated! Was the original like this?

Ricky336 · ‎Jul 28, 2025

Hello, Since you used a smartphone camera, the details are not quite as clear. The camera software has added some denoise, but this has also resulted in smoothing out the pixels, as can be seen on the fish as well as on the water. It's rather noticeable when you zoom in closer, and would be more noticeable on a large screen/printout than on a small screen/tablet display. Therefore, the quality rejection reason.

Ricky336 · ‎Jul 26, 2025

These images could be fine in another context, but not for Adobe Stock! Issues in this case—exposure, noise/grain, B&W...

Hello, Hi, ... here cau[s]e it looked fine to me 😕 Thanks a lot in advance! By @danny_3627 And that can be a problem—it can look fine at first glance, but then, when looking more closely, one begins to see problems—the camper's door, for example! Maybe a small detail, but a very important one. As the idiom goes, the devil is in the detail.

Hello, What was your aim for submitting these shots to Adobe Stock? Did you think about its commercial use? Construction use? How? What did you want to convey? Also, the shots have a yellow look—white balance issues.

Ricky336 · ‎Jul 24, 2025

Hello, In these shots, what did you have in mind for commercial use? Snorkelling in cold water?

Ricky336 · ‎Jul 24, 2025

Hello, Key word = similar. Your designs are indeed similar to that which is in the database. I would suggest another theme. Something that is truly unique!

Ricky336 · ‎Jul 23, 2025

I've found that Adobe hates the "portrait" style photos like this. They want everything to be in focus instead of accepting the art of these styles of images. By @monline Adobe Stock is not an art gallery, though; it is about commercial use—marketing—not for hanging pictures on one's wall, although you can, of course. 😁

Ricky336 · ‎Jul 18, 2025

Hello, Two things I would suggest. Increase the contrast. 2nd: Unfortunately, as others have mentioned—the focus is soft; it could be sharper.

Ricky336 · ‎Jul 16, 2025

To be clear, it's just a screenshot (of the arm) and not a crop of the picture in itself. It is to highlight that the out-of-focus arm is distracting. (I think.) I think you misunderstood my point of view. The focus in the middleground should be more in focus, whereas you have focused more on the foreground and blurred out the middle ground and background. "...and if you don't want to upload this, that's ok.." The people who respond here don't have a say in what gets accepted or rejected, by the way. It is not for us to decide!

Ricky336 · ‎Jul 16, 2025

Hello, Technically speaking, I think there are some issues. I would also say that the focus is rather misplaced. I find my eye going more to the person's arm (and hence out of the photo) rather than the foreground, even though that is where the focus is. It would be better to focus on the middle ground rather than the foreground. You could also add a little more warmth to the picture. It is slightly cold. This part of the photo is a bit distracting as well.

Ricky336 · ‎Jul 15, 2025

Hello, So what is the solutions or how can i check the similarities before submitting the files? By @ShaikotB Look at their database. It will be harder now to submit something unique; try to think outside the box and submit something that is not represented. (Easier said than done, I know.)

Ricky336 · ‎Jul 11, 2025

Hello, Apart from it being somewhat dark, you could improve the composition quite a bit. Remove the distracting trees and crop to a different format. For example: Just an idea! PS - there are tons of sunset images in the database!

Ricky336 · ‎Jul 11, 2025

Hello, I don't think that these shots have a lot of commercial value. What was the aim of submitting these? From a photographic point of view, I see that you were showing very strong lines (which I like)—that's what I notice—from a commercial point of view, I wonder. You have a very good camera, but that doesn't mean all shots will be accepted by Adobe.

... no stock site has ever requested a property release from me for maps,... By @dan_zel Hello, There is always a first time! Err on the side of caution, and include with your submission an IP release stating that you are the owner/creator. It will therefore avoid this situation. That's what I would do. 😊

Ricky336 · ‎Jul 09, 2025

Hello, The most obvious thing here is your composition—room for improvement. Composition: https://www.adobe.com/creativecloud/photography/discover/photo-composition.html

Ricky336 · ‎Jul 07, 2025

Hello, Unfortunately, the photo has exposure problems. It seems you may have reduced the highlights, but in doing so, the water has turned out to be rather dull. I think you also need to fix your white balance. The colour balance isn't good. Another thing to improve on is your composition. The photo isn't compelling. What did you actually want to show?

Ricky336 · ‎Jul 07, 2025

Hello, In my opinion, the composition could be a lot better. The photos are not compelling. What point do you want to get across? The 'quality issues' also include composition.

Ricky336 · ‎Jul 07, 2025

Hello, There is a white balance problem—your image is too yellow. You ought to correct the white balance. White balance: https://www.adobe.com/creativecloud/photography/discover/white-balance.html

Ricky336 · ‎Jul 04, 2025

All settings a perfect,exposure, ISO, shadows. By @Maria Ateva Your settings aren't perfect - sorry. You will need Model releases for these people: Which is impossible to get I guess, so another reason for rejection is that you need a model release, because you can see their faces! Also, underexposed shadows...

Ricky336 · ‎Jul 04, 2025

hello, I think your focus is a bit soft. Could be sharper, and you have an overall green cast. You should try to reduce the green a bit.

Ricky336 · ‎Jul 04, 2025

yes it is. on purpose. this photo was taken 6am. winter night. it is intended to be key photo, as we don't have sun. just the street lamps on the right. can't we publish low key images? By @Pedro1973 Be that as it may, it's still too dark. And one can also argue about the colour temperature. These photos are for stock, not an art gallery.

Ricky336 · ‎Jul 03, 2025

That's why you should choose the appropriate aperture to keep the subject sharp while creating a blurred background. These factors depend on the focal length of the lens and the camera to subject distance.

Ricky336 · ‎Jul 03, 2025

You need to understand the relationship between shutter speed, aperture and ISO. These combined affect exposure. If you increase the speed - 1/500 and keep 1/4, your exposure will be incorrect. The result wouldn't be better.

Ricky336 · ‎Jul 02, 2025

Hello, Sorry, but I personally think your composition could be better. For instance: The fork is lost against the background! Part of the hand shown does not match the shot. This is messy! I also go along with @Nancy OShea . The lighting does not do these shots justice. Shepard's pie is really nice, but alas, it does not look scrumptious in your shots - sorry! I don't get your 'rustic, countryside feel'. And I wouldn't use harsh light for food.

Ricky336 · ‎Jul 02, 2025

Hello, In my view, your images are too dark! And probably, the toning in the landscape picture.

Ricky336 · ‎Jul 02, 2025

Hello, You have an aperture setting of F/4. It is quite narrow for a 50mm lens. This is a reason for a lack of sharpness - DOF is too narrow. Read about aperture settings: What is Aperture? Understanding Aperture in Photography
