Propeller 2 is an abstract, that is nice, but has issues at the borders. And it is indeed a roulette to get those assets passed. If you crop out the issues and the exposure (I did not check the exposure) is correct, it may pass.

Thanks for your reply. I do need to pay more attention to the edges. I focued to much on the centre of the art. I'll also re check exposure.

Best advice for newcomers is to read your Stock Contributor User Guide. And avoid submitting over-represented subjects like backgrounds, wallpapers, plants, flowers, trees... Adobe Stock has millions & millions of those already.

Stock customers expect the highest visual and technical quality for use in commercial projects -- print, digital and merchandise.

Assets that appeal to various sectors will reach a wider customer base. Be creative and experiment with new ways of looking at familiar objects.

Hope that helps.

Thanks for your reply. I'd not looked at those pages but will do so. I'm new to Adobe so still finding my way around. Thanks again.

Hello,

Basically, in all your shots, there are focus problems:

Even though this looks intentional, it doesn't work here - Adobe will reject it.

Perhaps some useful links.

Thanks for your reply. I can see now that the lack of focus makes a big difference, especially in close up. And yes, the art is supposed to look like that but I can see why Adobe would reject it.

It's blurry.
Enlarge to 100% to check.

If you want to photograph a bee, you should get a closer look at the bee, and if flowers are also your subject, you should be careful not to cut the flowers.
You should also be careful with the exposure so that the flowers don't look washed out and white.

two .jpg needs to be a little sharper but, the problem is probably the overexposed highlight on the flower. You need to feel in that white spot with some details. See how I filled it in here. Also, I sharpened a bit.
Notice the difference?
