Please help me see (and perhaps fix) the grain/noise
I thought this was sharp and expressive. Rejected for grain/noise. What am I not seeing? And how do I fix it? thanks! (this selection cropped tighter to reduce size of image)

Well, it may depend on who is doing the reviewing/moderating. Adobe can be fairly picky. So, for what it's worth, I think the issue could be in the background with the trees. I agree with Abambo, that it is a bit oversharpened, and just maybe too much noise reduction.
Take note of these two examples in the background, it has a bit of a painted look. This is a sign of having too much noise reduction. So, I think they are referring to this.
Also: Artifacts can be caused by invasive post-processing. Always save your original file. If you get a rejection based on artifacts, compare the image you submitted with the original and assess where artifacts were introduced.
ref: Quality and technical issues rejected at Adobe Stock
So, compare your original image to the one you submitted and see if there is any difference.
If you submit this again as is, you just may have it rejected again!
Quality is also an issue with the type of camera/lens/smartphone, so this is something to consider as well.
