Quality - Covers one or more of the following:

poor execution
It is not possible for our team to give individual feedback for Quality. Keep in mind we have a higher level of quality standard for Unsplash+ than we do in the open library so we have to be extra picky with what we accept.
Please see our premium quality explanation guide for more information.
