In particular, I want to know why you reject this image

Hi, I agree will all the feedback regarding the focus and cropping. The focus is quite soft and that can't be corrected.
I would also add that it's also under exposed. That can be corrected by pulling up the whites level. Then the flower will standout more from the background. Best regards, John

In addition to the very obvious focus issue, composition is also not very good. The large patch of dirt in the lower right corner should have been cropped out. In general, though, don't waste your time submitting floral images; there are already millions upon millions of perfectly captured and edited floral images in the database. The chances that yours would ever be accepted or sold are minuscule.

Focus, focus and more focus. View your photo at at least 100%.

Hello,

This image would have been rejected due to the fact that it is out of focus. You were too close to the flower for the camera to focus properly. It seems you used a smartphone camera, so you need to have some distance between the subject and the camera for autofocus to work properly. Different models have different minimum focusing distances.
