I want a detailed answer about the quality issues of this image and why its quality is unacceptable and what are the most important points I should focus on to get my images accepted

Subject & composition are nothing special.

Stock has 3.4 MILLION images of pinecones for sale.

This is your competition:

https://stock.adobe.com/search?k=pinecone+snow

Is yours better than what Stock is selling?
As a customer, would you buy it?
What would you use it for commercially?

The composition is rather bland.

The snow is a bit too blue and the pine cone should be lightened somewhat..

Your photo is slightly overexposed and the shadows are somewhat underexposed. It is not a normal format (for instance 2x3). It is cropped to close to the tree needle. The needle is not focused. There are impurities in the snow which need to be removed. It should be a jpg file and not png.
