    Composition, exposure, and lack of sharpness. Your first image may require a property release in any case. The shadows from the trees are distracting. Too much going on in the background. Why crop the flowers the way you did? The pot on the bottom left hand corner should have been moved, but I don’t think it would have helped much from a compositional perspective. The subject itself is of little interest. Do a search for flowers on Adobe Stock and have a look at your competition.

    You’re competing with over 75 million flower images. Your chances of making a sale are next to zero.

    The signage is poorly lit with too many distracting shadows and background clutter. 

     

    Also, Adobe Stock is a global service. Most customers don’t use English as their primary language.  You must take that into consideration when curating images for Stock submission.

    Hello,

    Chiefly, your main problem in these photos is your composition. Don’t underestimate the composition of a photo. In these photos, it is hard to tell what the subject is.

    Also, it is important to think about the purpose of the shot. Often this is also forgotten. One can get tied up in the technicalities but forgot about the purpose of the photo. If you are trying to tell a story, what story is it?

    Also, there could be problems with IP with the signage/property that the sign is located on!

    Both suffer from composition issues, and the first is quite underexposed in the shadows. Virtually all images required editing before submitting to Adobe Stock; there’s really no market for unedited snapshots.

    in addition, the flower photo is poorly cropped and the shadows are underexposed.

    The sign and the patio

    There are a lot of distractions with in the image. 
    Over exposed sign
    Just not sure what story the image is telling.

    The Flowers
    People want clean images and space to add text / copy. 

    Cheers
