jupiter6791 Posted May 16, 2017 Share Posted May 16, 2017 I've been trying to get my first images accepted, but they always come back to me with saying they aren't sharp enough. I really feel like they are very sharp. I'm not a professional, but I am an amateur and feel I understand when something is sharp or not. Many of the first images I upload are animals that I have zoomed in on, and the backgrounds are blurry. Do they want the whole image to be sharp for the first submissions? Is there an area I can post some of my pictures and get input from others on here? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DJ Myford Posted May 17, 2017 Share Posted May 17, 2017 Many new contributors misunderstand Alamy's file size requirements, and as a result enlarge their files to an excessive size, making the image soft. This may not apply in your case, but just be aware that if you are using a 6MP sensor or greater, there should be no need to enlarge your output.

M.Chapman Posted May 17, 2017 Share Posted May 17, 2017 You could try uploading one of your failed images here, and then put a link here on the forum to it. You'll then get a diagnosis from forum members as to what's wrong. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mickfly Posted May 18, 2017 Share Posted May 18, 2017 Do you understand what 'depth of field' is?Do you use manual focus? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Betty LaRue Posted May 18, 2017 Share Posted May 18, 2017 Just a wee tip. You need to give the scientific name of all animals and plants. Location can be important, if a buyer wants to illustrate a particular plant or animal found in a certain place. Nice images! Betty Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Orange Elephant Posted May 19, 2017 Share Posted May 19, 2017 I'd agree with Geoff that looks like a Greylag goose. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
