IMG_20211226_13161 - poorly lit, misalignedand not sharply focused. Top down view doesn't really work here, because it's impossible to disginquish what good is on the plate.

IMG_20211226_12495 - inadequate lighting, messy composition - what is the plastic thing behind the plate? part of a fork showing, poor focus

IMG_20220401_09363 - what are we looking at here? A bush and some poles? It's not an attractive composition and lacks commercial appearl. The white balance is off and the verticals are leaning.

IMG_20220629_205303. - the horses are not in focus, the sky is blown out and the shadows are underexposed.

    #2 and #3 are messy pictures. That is, they are pictures of a messy, fun, food. But mess needs to be very carefully planned and composed. Food photography is almost never a real meal; it is a carefully composed fake arranged for your camera with tripod to capture - just as you would never get commercial photography at a party by randomly pointing a camera at people having fun.  Pay close attention to EVERYTHING in the picture, not just the food. No stock buyer needs half a glass or the tip of a fork. Look at the surfaces and make sure they complement the food and the composition.

      What was the rejection reason for each one?

       

      In the meantime, read these links.  Adobe Stock customers expect the highest visual and technical quality for use in commercial projects.  Food photography must be well lit, visually appealing & appetizing.   Look at current food images in Adobe Stock inventory to see what gets accepted.
