Hi all, some help would be appreciated, I'm trying to learn what Adobe Stock is looking for. I am not new to photography, I have checked the photos in Lightroom for exposure issues and did not find any. Are they just not unique enough - there's already enough sunflowers and tree images going around? Maybe birch shot seems too crowded? All creative choices made were intentional. Thanks for your input.

Hello,

I would read more about composition, your images could be stronger.

Also, think about the commercial value. How could these images be used commercially?

The foreground is underexposed.

In the sunflower image, I think the foreground is a bit underexposed. The DOF is rather shallow, causing much of the image to be out of focus.

I think the birch image is also a bit underexposed, and the white balance seems too blue.
