I think your subject selection is interesting, but your composition is not good enough. Composition is a quality issue, and included in the "quality" rejections. People may have things to say about other aspects such as exposure and focus, but I'll stick to composition. Pancakes. Decorative. Nice dusting. But the composition needed to enclude the whole of the plate it was displayed on. It seems to be randomly cut off, especially at the right. Pancakes are a rather popular subject, it's hard to compete. But look at your competition: Pancakes Images – Browse 467,591 Stock Photos, Vectors, and Video | Adobe Stock Typewriter. This is a beauty. Properly composed this could be a popular image. But not with this composition. It's carelessly cut off at the edge of the carriage, but more to the point, it seems to be surrounded by old junk - but not in an "old fashioned" way. Rather, it seems to be for sale in an antique shop. You need to present it on on a neutral background, a beautiful leather desktop, or even a carefully set up old office setting (drifting out of focus at the rear). Compare with Typewriter Old Images – Browse 72,818 Stock Photos, Vectors, and Video | Adobe Stock, here is your competition. Another problem: REMINGTON is a trademark, you can't include it. Phone box. This is a fine piece of living history. But no, not with part of modern van and untidy yard behind it, and junk stacked against it, grass in front, and unfortunately coloured red flowers overlapping it. Compare with: https://stock.adobe.com/search?k=%22red+telephone+box%22 Flower. Unremarkable flower badly framed and (I have to say it) wildly out of focus. Don't bother with flowers, even perfect ones, there are many millions already on offer.
