DSCN1401.jpg - not sharply focused

DSCN1402.jpg - not well composed, you should have included the entire bloom

DSCN1396.jpg - over exposed and blurry

There is no commercial value in such unedited snapshots. Adobe already has many millions of plant images of much higher quality. Unless you find a rare species of plant or flower that is under-represented in the database, I wouldn't recommend spending any time uploading.

Your fist is not sharp and has numerous artefacts.

You really need to check your assets at 100% before submitting.

Your second is not sharp (camera shake during picture taking?)

1/25 second exposure handheld is quite demanding. In addition, the exposure is not correct, the asset is overexposed.

Your third is underexposed, and has clipping in the blacks:

The flash caused ugly highlights. Start using a diffuser and edit out excessive highlights.

Your last is again not sharp :

Again and again: check your assets at 100%.

Your fourth is lost in the Virus scan...

Ok.... this is alot to look into. I am starting to think maybe the flash of my camera is messing things up, but when i dont use the flash for some reason it makes images, especially close ups blur bad. It isnt a fancy camera, a standard digital camera unfortunately.(Nikon Coolpix L830) i guess this could also be my issue?

As for the sharpness on 1st image, i did "crop enlarge" image 3, so maybe this is why crispness so to speak was lost?

as for picture 2, very strong possibilty for shakey picture taking, will work on that.

How can i check the graph that you have displayed for image 3? and the clippings in black would that be the flatness towards the right of the graph? I am such a newbie to this, its embarressing lol.

Again the sharpness i think could be getting lost with the flash? Or is there a possibilty that is i use the noise reduction filter in photoshop, that i am loosing sharpness?

As for the last photo lost with virus scan, i have uploaded it in this reply.

Thank you again for all your feedback, really appreciate it.

Integrated flashes are never the best solution for good pictures. But normally flash pictures are sharper than non flash pictures. And your camera has about 10 years. That's a lot in the world of photography, but it should not be a limiting factor. The camera itself is not exacly a high end camera, that may be limiting the type of pictures you can take for stock. There is a difference between snapshots for your private album and shots for a commercial activity like stock.

Noise reduction may get you lose sharpness, there is always a trade off. You need to check the picture before modifications.

For 1392, you will need to do noise reduction, and may be lift a bit the sharpness.
