The blurred faces are poorly done; if you can't get model releases for the people in your images, don't submit them. Optionally, you can use Photoshop to remove the people.

See screenshot from your Contributor User Guide below.

Although assets may contain multiple reasons for refusal, Stock Reviewers are not allowed to check more than one box per submission. Thus, your evaluation ends at problem #1. Keep that in mind if you decide to resubmit later under a new filename.

The best advice I have for new contributors is to compare your best work with current Stock inventory before deciding if you should submit it. Put yourself in the customer’s shoes.

Is yours better than what Stock is selling?
Would you buy it?
What would you use it for commercially?

Hope that helps.

So what you are saying is that we should upload one photo at a time so that they don’t pick out what they want to correct?

It's overexposed, as shown by the histogram.

In addition it's unsharp (focus or camera shake), it's noisy and shows generally a pixel structure that is typical for smal sensor cameras (like in phones).

A different issue, that is also visible on your streets pictures: you have ip violations spread over the whole picture. Here it is the Siemens brand name and logo.

(As an electrical engineer, I can say that the cabling is a mess. I've rarely seen such a bad execution. 🧐. But that is part of my other competence, and has nothing to do with Adobe stock. For stock, it would be a 'good" picture, if correctly executed.)

Photo IMGh_places_Antalya_19,9mp_20250714-2.jpg: The photo is overexposed and there are no blacks. See the histogram.

The pixels are piled up on the right and are missing on the left.
Also the blurry objects in the water (spots) and blurry birds must be removed.
The logo and name on the sign must be removed.

Your compositions are generally interesting but most of your images are overexposed and have issues with haze. These can be corrected to some degree but would need considerable editing in Photoshop or another graphics program.

Adobe Community Expert | If you aren't submitting your assets in sRGB, you probably didn't read the rules.

In addition: you have mirrored the asset, you see it in the writings… Not that is matters, as you would need to edit that out anyhow, to avoid an IP refusal:

And you would need a model release for those two persons here:

Thanks. But the blurred faces there are on the only one photo..

When you post many pictures, we generally pick only one or two to check. That's because checking assets and pointing out the error takes time. Even if not all errors are the same, you should limit yourself to up to three iconic refusals. You'll get an extensive critique, and most probably, you can apply that to other refusals.
