Checking what are the technical issues with some pictures rejected by Adobe Stock

the flower and trail pictures were taken at golden hour and I barely retouched them in lightroom. Any comments to improve the quality of my pictures would be appreciated.

Hello,

Definitely oversaturated - way too much. As a result, you get this:

Too much of a difference between the plants and the sky which has resulted in a halo. You have lens flare, and  I think they are also oversharpened.

    The first 2 are definitely not "barely retouched". They're oversaturated and perhaps over-sharpened too; however detailed analysis cannot be performed without seeing the full size images that you uploaded to Adobe.

    I suspect focus and oversaturation may be the reasons.

     

    Read the Stock Contributor's User Guide.  There is good information there.

    The flower and trail photos appear not to be full size.  For more accurate feedback, try uploading the full sized photos.

    Are those the pictures as submitted? Check the pictures at 100%. You have no details. This happens (especially with small sensor cameras) when there is a high noise reduction and following sharpening operation. If you shoot raw, you may recover these pictures. If not, post them on social media and enjoy the likes.
