Correct answer Abambo

Check your assets at 100%. Your pictures expose a high level of artefacts, have missing details and are underexposed. There may be other issues, too.

You're competing with millions & millions of perfect pet images.  There's too much competition in the pet category.

If you're serious about Stock photography, start saving for good entry-level camera equipment (new or used).

Take some photography courses to learn the basics. 

Join a photography club to gain some technical experience.

 

Hope that helps. Best of luck.

The quality of the first photo reviewed at 100% looks bad. There is a lot of noise. I assume due to over sharpening or jpeg compression. Also, the highlights are overexposed so that the details in the fur are lost.
