The butterfly is not correctly focussed. If any part of a portrait should be in focus, it's the eyes!
There is a lot of noise around
The flowers are overexposed and are missing contrast.

f4.5 for a macro picture is very optimistic. The DOF will be less than a mm.

Hi @Shreyasi26174067zb81 ,

The flowers has lost details in the highlights. The lower petals of the subject flower is out of focus and there is some noise grains.

Read up on Seven tips to get your photos accepted by Adobe and these extra tips that will help you to improve on you uploads and to learn how to find the issue with your files.

The flower is washed out. Not much wow factor.

Keep in mind, you're competing with 26 million other flowers and a million or so butterfly images. Even if it's accepted, your sale potential is low. Look for unusual subjects to photograph that Adobe Stock does not have millions of.

The flower petals are overexposed and lacking detail, and the butterfly is not uniformly sharply focused.
