Snapshots of incomplete subjects are not Stock worthy, sorry.

You must think like a Stock customer, not a photographer. Before you submit, ask yourself these 3 questions:

Would I buy this?
What would I use it for commercially?
Is this image sufficient quality for professional print purposes like billboard ads, magazines, t-Shirts, caps or calendars?

If you answer "No" or "I don't know" to any question, it's not right for Stock inventory.

Hope that helps.

That's OK,

I am currently experimenting trying to get it right/correct.

Experimenting is good. That's how you learn what your equipment can and can't do. Take some photography courses online or at your local school. Join a photography club to get feedback from fellow photographers.

Stock is a business. Submit only your best work that has a real chance of making sales.

Professional stock photography isn't taken with a selfie camera. Adobe's customers expect and demand the highest quality, National geographic quality, set up perfection. At the very least, get a tripod and remote. But don't expect to get much of saleable quality from a phone.

Sorry, I didn't make myself clear, the shot was taken with a DSLR on a tripod. I was trying to keep my hand and yabby in focus

That's a difficult task. A helper is most probably required for this to get an acceptable shot. Having someone agreeing to model for this would make it an excellent shot.

We can't assess the technical issues from this tiny thumbnail; but certainly composition is an issue because you've cut off both ends of the object making it difficult to determine what it is.

Ditto. Please post the original image. We can't give any good advice on tiny thumbnails.
