Another rejection. What's wrong here?

Hi everyone,

I'm still trying to understand why I can't get a single photo accepted onto Adobe Stock. Can someone tell me what is wrong with this photo that it was rejected for quality reasons? This wasn't created by a filter, all I did was slightly up the saturation to bring out the red. The dirt is actually that colour. The sky isn't blown out. What kind of insane quality guidelines exist on Adobe Stock?

Thanks for your input.

When I zoom to inspect carefully (which is exactly what Moderators do), I see blue and a loss of detail. Was this shot with a mobile phone camera? There's also chromatic aberration among the branches.

Okay thanks. No it wasn't a mobile phone camera, it was an older dslr. Could you also give me an opinion then on a brand new photo I took with my Nikon Z5 that certain maintains detail without any chromatic abberations? (Also rejected for quality reasons). Would just be interested in your opinion.

Is it because some of the leaves are in soft focus? I guess what I'm trying to wrap my head around is that artistic choices regarding things like focus are irrelevant in trying to get something approved on here.

Actually, the sky is kind of blown out if one were to add a sky replacement for comparison.

Okay, the problem with real life photography of course is that sometimes it's just simply more overcast than what a photographer wants. So, Adobe apparently doesn't want too much editing, but in this case it would've been better for me to completely edit a new sky into the existing photo? Just good to know if I want to submit any other images. Is the sky the only issue here?

"Is the sky the only issue here?"

@Jill_C makes some additional points but no, I can't guarantee that adding sky alone would get the image accepted. One can only try.
