The first is black and white and needs an IP release or the name removed.The third needs an IP release or the name removed.

1) Skip the Black & White images. Stock customers want full color. If needed later, they can easily convert color to grayscale in Photoshop or Lightroom. But it's not so easy to colorize B&W.

2) Be careful with signage. You can't sell other people's designs without their written permission. See Property Releases in your Contributor User Guide.

3) Adobe Stock customers expect the highest visual and technical quality for use in commercial projects: posters, magazines, social media, print and TV ads, merchandise, etc... Before you submit, compare your best work with current Stock inventory. It should be as good or better than what Stock has now

Your Contributor User Guide contains more tips.

In addition to being monochrome the first image also has a logo that would result in an IP rejection.

In addition to being black and white, it is also "out of focus" and "noisy". It's also missing contrast. The picture looks like a scan of an old black and white picture.

The second picture is noisy too and has these dust spots.
