These 2 images were rejected from Adobe Stock for quality issue.

I would appreciate feedback as to what I can do to improve on these images.

I have some ideas to try but would appreciate assistance from this forum.

Thank you in advance.

Stock is not a photo sharing site, it's a commercial business. Customers expect to find high quality images to use in commercial projects like ads, posters, product packaging, videos, printed magazines, and merchandise.

If you're looking for inspiration for taking Stock photos that sell, start with this list. Or make your own list of things that interest you and have wide appeal to potential buyers.

Hello,

Sadly, there is not much you can do about these pictures. As @Jill_C said, you have got focusing issues, and secondly, how can these images actually be used? What commercial value do they offer?
