New contributor – several images rejected for "quality issues" – looking for advice

The trees holds potential value:
turn it into a silhouette and fill in the gaps and extend the image to the right for copy

then you would need to look at keywords

Before resubmitting to Stock, compare your highest quality work with available inventory.

• Is yours better & more unique than what Stock is selling? 
• As a customer, which assets would you buy?

Hello,

Im afraid to say that the photos are underexposed - not enough light - even though you wanted a tree silhouette.

It is also very important to know what you want to sell, why, the purpose, why would people want it. The competition is very fierce these days.

You need to do a lot of reading in what is stock photography, what sells and so on.

You’re also competing with AI images which is taking the world by storm!!

Here’s how your exposure would need to be adjusted, but as ​@jodij28273193 pointed out, I’m not sure a buyer would ever look for an image like this for commercial use. 

Way under exposed and photos 1 and 3 have no apparent subject. Photo 2 the moon is overexposed and the photo needs to be cropped in closer.

Your pictures are lovely for a photo album, but for stock, you have to ask yourself, what will clients use these for? You need to make the subject the light point in the picture. The grass is dark and dull. The moon is more artistic, but I can't see a client buying it. The tree, again, should be light and bright. Back-lit pictures aren’t really usable unless it’s an amazing sunset. Go take subjects that are the center of attention and the color they should be. I hope this helps you.
