The range of focus is narrow.
There are many similar photos registered on AdobeStock, so I think the selection process will be strict.

The exposure is pulled in the sky, leaving some areas black.
You can retouch the image in Lightroom or Photoshop to bring out the details in these areas.

Hello,

There are a number of quality issues with your photos. Subject matter—your shot of the water — what commercial use could this be of?

Adobe Stock is about selling—commercial use.

Your other shots have some exposure issues.

Key things to think about—exposure, composition, and commercial applications.

Read these links from Adobe.
