I would like to know why Adobe rejected these two photos.

On my first attempt, they were rejected for lack of quality. 

I would like to know the reason to avoid making the same mistakes in the future and working in vain.

Thank you very much to anyone who can help me.

    They’re not photos, are they? Seem to be AI illustrations. Both images seem to be rather blurry, and the gibberish text in the first image would also have been a reason for rejection.

    For comparison, this is what you’re competing with in Stock.

    Algorithm Flagging: Adobe Stock uses a shallow AI system to compare your submissions to existing images, vectors, or videos. If your work is too close in composition, concept, or subject to assets already in the library, it may get flagged for “similar content.” 

     

    Repetitive Metadata: Using same titles and keywords across multiple variations can trigger automatic rejections.
