    Hi ​@Bally's Artwork ,

    Except the issues are on layers not visible on top, I cannot identify an issue. Sometimes there are fragments, or hidden element, etc. You will need to closely inspect the layers when the file is open in the application to see if you can see what they saw.

    Best wishes

    Jacquelin

    For quality issues or similar content? This issue involving contributors experiencing more rejections than usual has been floating around for a while, here and on other Adobe Stock related forums. This would suggest that Adobe’s standards for quality have shifted. A few months ago, Adobe announced that they had removed over 100,000 assets from the database, most likely as a result of an increase in these quality standards.

    Quite sure my pics are kinda well-drawn. Thanks for your opinion. Maybe I should consider new places to sell mine

    Many are submitting to other stock sites. Adobe does not claim exclusivity and selling on other sites is recommended and practiced regularly.
