Hi @RED5D67,

These are nice snapshots for Instagram or Flickr but Adobe Stock customers come here for images of interest that are socially relevant.  For example: climate change, family, education, transportation, energy, architecture, environment, technology, business, medicine, health & fitness, beauty, food & drink, holidays, etc... 

 

Customers expect technically & visually perfect images for commercial use on product packages and merchandise, marketing ads, videos, etc...

Hope that helps.

    Flowers, sunsets and puppies - all of these categories are already over-represented in the Adobe Stock database. In order for your images in these categories to be accepted into the database they need to be unique and perfectly executed. Search in the database for each of these types of images to see what Adobe considers good quality. While using these subjects to practice your photography and editing skills is a worthwhile pursuit, I wouldn't waste any time submitting them for Stock.

      Like @Marianne-Deiters said, the photos are not in focus.

      Some have artifacts,

      some are under exposed (the candles). Others have overexposed highlights (the dogs nose).

        Hi @RED5D67,

        Look on Adobe Stock below.  You're competing with 1.5 million high quality images of candles in Adobe Stock's database. 

        https://stock.adobe.com/search?k=candle

         

        Be creative.  Find other subjects that are less well-represented.

        Rose: Blown out lights at the top

        The landscape looks like a paper cut with no details and little contrast

        Candles: Too dark and not in focus

        Puppy: The lights are blown out, the reflections in the eyes are not nice, the body is cut off
