quality criteria

Question

Reason for submitting is the obscure location (Eritrea), have had success with such as I travel to them all the time.

But the rejection isn't 'oh no, yet another beach' but quality, and am bit baffled as I can not quite spot which one of the boilerplate it is. Much appreciate guidance....

Hello,I think a major issue is composition. AS @Jill_C pointed out, I also think it should have been shot in landscape orientation.The composition is bad in this shot!

Looks like a nice vacation spot. IMO, clipping and poor composition are the main technical problems here. Focus is the other.

As a customer, I'm not keen on buying partial images that look like snapshots. I can get those on social media. Stock customers pay for highest quality commercial-use-ready images they can use on brochures, posters, t-shirts, tote bags, magazine ads, etc...

Also compare your work with current inventory. Stock has over 100 pages of palm trees on beaches.
