Macro images with shallow depth of field

God forbid Adobe accepts images with shallow depth of field. It restricts creative freedom and also prevents the upload of extreme macro shots (which I don't want to blend together using focus stacking).

I don't think it's a "struggle" at all. Adobe seems to have a preference for commercially usable images in which a good portion of the frame is in focus. Perhaps the other stock agencies you mentioned are accepting more artistic images without a view to their commercial appeal. But since you are able to get your shallow DOF images accepted elsewhere, why not just submit them there and eliminate the annoyance of having them rejected by Adobe?

Yes, why does Adobe struggle with the depth of field? It seems that virtually every upload, be it a 3D render or a photograph, gets rejected 90% of the time. Interestingly, I encounter no such issues when uploading to Getty or Shutterstock, only with Adobe.
