Photos rejected , quality issues

Help, a lot of my photos have been rejected lately due to quality issues. See what's wrong? I had about 20 photos of this story and half were accepted and half were rejected, the processing settings and colors are the same everywhere. I thought there might be a problem with focus, but I don't know that my camera never misses focus. It's also strange that all the other photo stocks accepted the images. What do you recommend? I really wanted to upload this footage.

Hello,

To have a good understanding of how depth of field works and its relation to the aperture, read this from Adobe:

The relationship between aperture and depth of field - Adobe

An aperture of 2.8 is very shallow!

It seems the DOF is too shallow, causing out of focus areas that should be in focus.

Thanks for the reply, it just frustrates me, I often shoot at an aperture of 2.8, so this is the depth of field, but previously such photos were taken. Can you tell me if the content is checked by a robot or a human?

F2.8 is just too wide open for some scenes. Adobe utilizes human moderators.
