First lot of rejections - My initial reaction - [too] picky!!!

(...)334: hig noise level, but still not  sharp:

(...)497: high noise level. 

(...)609: out of focus 

(...)491: high noise level and out of focus. 

I do not think that DoF is a problem. You have a focussing problem and at least part of your pictures show different other defects. No "what's the heck". All pictures have been rightfully rejected. You need to pay more attention to the detail. And you need to critically examine your pictures at 100% and 200%. You will see defects at that magnification. 

The last image is underexposed, the colors have low saturation and the focus is too blurry probably due to camera shake and shallow depth-of-field.   You might get better results with a tripod and longer exposure.

Better luck next time. 🙂

Thanks for all your comments. something to think on. My counter comments where Adobe and this community expect more of the shot to be in focus, all the pro pictures you see are at f2.8 then if f5+ is expected then cannot understand the contradiction. . and is which case why everyone chases expensice -f2-3 glass..

Respectfully - what are all those white spots all over the first image?  Dust on the sensor?  If this is dust on your sensor, you need to have it cleaned and preferably by a professional who won't damage your camera in the process..  

I agree that lack of sharp focus is indeed the main problem. Flowers are very much over-represented in the Adobe Stock database, and for yours to be accepted or ever sold they need to be unique and technically perfect. 

Lots of completion too therefore reviewers are "more picky".

Nice photos btw. 🙂

I only looked at the first few, but in my opinion it's mainly the shallow depth of field which doesn't allow for enough of your subject to be in focus.  The water drops are very cool, but when looking at your photo at 100% hardly anything is in focus.

Similarly, your rose with the lovely bokeh seems to have some motion blur along with a lot of noise and shallow depth of field.

I hope this helps.  Sorry, I didn't take a close lookat the others.
