Hi! Full disclaimer, I am not a professional creative. Just someone who enjoys taking casual photos and have had a wide variety of experiences. If I could get some feedback on why these were rejected and how I could edit to ensure an acceptance (if possible). Given, my lack of technical experience - please explain in layman's terms if possible. Thank you so much!

Compare your best work with current Stock inventory. To get accepted, yours should be better than what Stock is selling now.

Due to competing inventory from other Cloud assets, I wouldn't spend more time on that one. Stock has a more than generous supply of clouds.

This is what you're competing with in trees:

I don't know what this is. If this is a photo of an art installation, you'll need signed releases by the artist who created it and any other stakeholders who can claim ownership before it can be used commercially.
