Photo - Technical reasons

Editing and post-production of the file

Poor editing is considered when the asset has inappropriate editing, resulting in a loss of aesthetics and commercial value. The following aspects will be taken into account:

• Excessive color saturation.
• Unjustified use of whites and blacks.
• Poorly executed digital montages.
• Photographs with an aggressive filter that may limit their future use.

Blurriness or lack of sharpness

The photo lacks sharpness in the entire image or its key element without pursuing an artistic intention. Some examples would be:

• The photo may have justified selective focus, emphasizing a specific part or object within it. Still, it can only be partially out of focus, except in specific cases in line with artistic intention. An example of this is intentionally blurred backgrounds by the author.
• The photo may have intentional motion blur achieved with a slow shutter speed, provided it has explicit artistic intent.
• The photo lacks sharpness due to the image upscaling.

Please note that these cases will result in the rejection of the photo.

Lighting

Photos with incorrect lighting will not be accepted. The following aspects will be taken into account:

• Underexposed images with poor or insufficient lighting hinder a clear perception of central elements.
• Overexposed images with "burned" or white areas.
• Images with uneven or inappropriate lighting resulting in flat or excessively contrasted outcomes.
