If a human is curating my photos, I'm definitely nearsighted, and if a robot or system is checking my photos, it's definitely an error, because I think there's nothing wrong with my photos.
Unfocused snapshots of commonly submitted subjects like flowers & sunsets won't sell. There's too much competition from other contributors.
1. Please read your Stock Contributor User Guide carefully. Everything you need to know about what Stock expects is spelled out in the User Guide.
2. Before you submit, compare your work with current Stock inventory. To be accepted, your work should stand out and be as good or BETTER than what Stock has.
3. Sales are another hurdle. Customers are very picky. They expect to find a wide variety of subjects, with highest visual & technical quality for use in commercial projects. Giving customers what THEY want is your biggest challenge.
4. If you're new to photography, take some photography courses to learn about proper lighting, focus, composition & camera settings.
Sorry, but photographing a flower is just...photographing a flower. There is nothing unique here. Nothing that stands out from the millions of other flower photos submitted to Adobe Stock. Even it approved, the likelyhood of selling it would be next to nill. Think outside the box. Or the flower box if you will.
I hate to be harsh, but if I strapped a camera to my cat's neck and let her walk around in a garden, the chances of her taking this photo randomly are very high.
But you're probably right, There is nothing inherently wrong with it. Technically perhaps. But that doesn't make it commercially viable.
