Looking for input: Batch of 70 photos rejected because of quality issues

How many have you sold?  I ask because acceptance into Stock inventory is no guarantee of consistent sales activity. 

Stock inventory has exploded to over 300 million assets so they can afford to more choosy now -- as well they should.

As an unpaid forum volunteer, I haven't time to evaluate 10 images per person.  1-2 is the best you can hope for.

This image has two obvious mistakes which you should have identified yourself. 

1. The poorly focused foreground subject is distracting and sticks out like a sore thumb.  As a composition, it doesn't work.

2. Underexposed.  See histogram panel.

Examine your images at 100-300% magnification.  Make corrections if you can.  Discard the ones you can't fix.

Submit 5-6 of your highest quality images per batch. 

That should help reduce your rejection rate.

Hope that helps.  Good luck with your next submission.

Thanks for your feedback. I still don't think that those reasons where why the images were rejected.  I would like to let you know that Adobe Support has acknowledged that those images were rejected in error. Same as the last batch. 

My gut feeling is, that there is a lot of pressure on the content moderator due to the high amount of AI content. 

Here is the message from Adobe Support: 

Hello Mathias,

thank you very much for your message. The moderation team works independently and under its own management. Every day a lot of files are checked manually according to different parameters. Of course, errors can occur here from time to time.
This was certainly the case with a large number of your recent submissions.
I have now resent your files to the moderation team and assume that a weighty portion of your rejected files will be accepted.

Rejection-00005.jpg - underexposed in the shadows and there's a spot in the upper left corner that should be edited out.

Rejection-00001.jpg - lacks sharp focus and artifacts in the sky 

0003- the foreground is distracting, the subject is not in focus, the shadows on the monument should be lightened.

0006- the subject is not in focus, the shadows on the volcanoes should be lightened, the sky is noisy (could be color noise) .

0007- the subject is not in focus, the shadows on the mountains should be lightened, the sky is noisy and has a magenta touch.

Overall, when viewing the other photos, I conclude focus, dark shadows and some noise is the problem. These can all be easily corrected in post processing.
