Mystery of first submitted photo being rejected because a similar photo has already been submitted

Hi, I am an Adobe Stock Contributor with a year of experience. I have submitted photos that have been rejected because similar photos have already been submitted.
The four rejected photos are completely different photos of landscapes, food, and bedding, all of which are the first photos I have submitted.　　
For what reason would my first photo be rejected on the grounds that it has already been submitted?
I don't know what kind of photos to submit if they will continue to be rejected for such a mysterious reason.

Search the Adobe Stock for other images in your keyword category. Many topics are already over-represented in the database, such as flowers, pets, sunrises/sunsets, food, etc. Now that the database exceeds 350 million assets, perhaps Adobe just doesn't need or want more of the same.

Similar photo may mean also similar against the whole database. The wording of the refusal is not correct. This happens especially with pictures that are abundantly present in the database. 

 

It may also be, that the moderator simply selected the wrong refusal reason, and that there are "quality issues" with the asset.
