Hi contributors! Could you please help me to understand why these photos are not accepted because of quality issues? I thought these photos had high pixels and enough sunlight. Should i use design tools to adjust photos?

Even if you do get these edited to acceptable levels (focus, cropping, etc..), the flower category contains 22 million entries so you won't make many sales from flowers. 

 

Successful Stock photographers look for unique subjects that customers are likely to buy. Or they take mundane objects and show them in a whole new way.  It's challenging to do what nobody else has thought of.  But sometimes that's what it takes.

 

Best of luck on future submissions.

While photographing and editing floral images provides useful practice of your skills, I wouldn't bother uploading them to Adobe stock. There are already millions of images of every common flower type. Unless you find a very exotic flower that is underrepresented in the database, yours will never be seen or purchased.

Just one example (seen at 100%): out of focus and blown out details, due to too much light (or bad exposure) of this scene:

As a third point, I would have framed this picture like this:

Focus, exposure and composition are your biggest problems.

The focus must be crisp and there must be enough depth of field. 

The exposure must be adequate to show most details. In your photos, highlighted areas are overexposed and shadows are underexposed.

Unwanted objects in the background should be removed. Lines and corners of the walls should be straight. Zoom in on your subject.
