    With so much competing flower inventory, your chances of making a sale from this are not very good. 

     

    This is what you’re competing with:

     

    This is what’s expected:

    • Customers want compositions that tell a story, or convey a mood or idea without words.
    • They’re looking for the highest visual & technical quality for use in commercial projects— print, digital media, marketing, TV, film and merchandise.
    • They’re also looking for artwork that’s unique in some way from all the rest. 

     

    This is what’s required:.

     

    Hope that helps.

    Hey ​@mobangoura 
    The flower looks old/ wilted. 
    Pretty among the green… 
     

    When submitting images ask yourself this Qs:

    Who is going to buy this image? meaning who is your target audience and what purpose will this image serve?

    Cheers

    Nate

    You actually need to submit a larger image, as we can’t tell much from an image this small. But that said, I would encourage to do a search on Adobe Stock to get a feel for what you are competing with among the 150,000 results that were returned when I did a search for petunia.
