Hello,Apart from the quality issues - exposure, and noise, you also need to think about composition. This could be a lot better.Another thing is taking snow pictures. It is actually quite hard to take snowy pictures, due to the lack of light. These photos are grey (the day was grey of course), but then you have to spend time getting the tones right in post-production.Also, a very important consideration is how these images can be used. I personally don't see any commercial value at all. Take a look at what is on offer:Obrazy (Snow Covered Road) — zdjęcia, wektory i wideo bez tantiem (830,659) | Adobe StockNotice how the pictures are not just muddy colours! Have a read of this from Adobe about how to create better photos:https://helpx.adobe.com/stock/how-to/tips-stock-image-acceptance.html?set=stock--fundamentals--adobe-stock-contributorContributor handbook:https://stock.adobe.com/pages/artisthub/pdf/contributor-handbook-2022.pdf

Both pictures are not really great. But I don't see overexposed highlights, in the contrary. I think the second picture is underexposed, as shown by the histogram:

Really disturbing are these wires and the artefacts with these wires. There is also chromatic aberration. And the whole background exposes chromatic noise and artefacts.

(picture at 200%)

The first picture also exposes artefacts and chromatic aberration:

I agree with @RALPH_L that the picture does not have a great DOF. The used lens can do better.

I would guess, that if they had not been rejected with quality issues, they would have been because of commercial appeal.
