Hi @Yuliia_Yakymchuk 

The first image is under exposed.

The second image depth is a bit shallow. The color don't seem natural. 

Too much of the third and fourth images are out of focus. You could have added more depth.

Black and white is hardly accepted if at all.

Best wishes

Jacquelin

Adobe Stock customers expect the highest commercial quality images for use in magazines, TV commercials, posters, videos, print and merchandise.  Compare your work with similar content in Adobe Stock's inventory to understand what gets accepted.  

 

You might find it helpful to enroll in some photography & editing courses to learn the basics— composition, lighting, color balance, focal distance and good camera technique. That's not something this community can teach you.

Adobe rarely accepts black and white conversions.

I'm sorry, but there are alot of issues. I only looked at the first three photos and what I see are:

-- no commercial value,

-- IP issues,

-- photo with a white border,

-- photos not sharp,

-- poorly cropped,

-- noise

-- black and white

-- exposure issues.

May I suggest:
