I don't know why they refuse this. Can someone help so I can do better pic to send here?

Depth of field is too shallow, resulting in parts of the flower, in particular the center, being out of focus. It's also somewhat underexposed.

The colours are great. But sharpness and exposure need to be correct too. Check your histogram, and check your asset at 100%.

Hi @Dylan Amistadi ,

The framing is slightly underexposed and does not have enough depth of field thus not completely in focus.

Best wishes

By the way, since no one else has mentioned it yet, Adobe stock is overrun with floral images. Unless you have found a rare specimen for which there aren't already thousands of images in the database, I wouldn't spend much time editing and uploading flowers...

The image is too soft. The subject is not sharp.

I love the deep, rich colors, but I wonder if it might be an issue with composition? You have what appears to be a floating flower smack dap in the middle of the frame, lessening its commercial value, say, if you were to use generative expand to offset it to the left or right. The Camera Raw filter does show a little loss of detail in the highlights and shadows, but nothing significant. Although the shadows could be opened up a bit, I think. Wait and see what others might have to say.
