May I kindly request your assistance in clarifying the specific concerns pertaining to these photographs?

Did you edit these images in Photoshop or Lightroom before you submitted them?  Almost all digital images requires some post-processing to make them Stock-worthy.

Hope that helps.

Chromatic aberration is also a significant issue with image 4865.
It’s most noticeable in bright conditions, especially around tree leaves, but in this case, it affects the entire image. Correcting chromatic aberration should be a routine step in your editing workflow before submitting to Adobe Stock. It’s an easy fix, and addressing it will greatly improve image quality.

Kashif, you have uploaded a picture of a person, with no question. Without a question we have to assume this is spam or worse. Also, this is someone else's discussion, if you have a question it should be a new post. So, I will ask for your reply to be deleted.

In addition to the above comments, 4865 also has a lot of chromatic aberration. It appears frequently in images taken on bright days, particularly among tree leaves; but in this case it's apparent throughout the image. It's easy to correct, and searching for it should be a standard part of your editing process prior to submitting to Adobe stock.

5212: Blown out highlights as shown on the histogram:

You would need to take back the whites to recover detail. Lifting the shadows a bit would help to lighten up the woods in the foreground. By doing that, you will lift the noise level, and you will introduce artefacts, especially in the light areas. You will need to address that. It will help, when you have access to the raw files.

6038: You have shadow clipping and the right part of the image is underexposed. Lifting the shadows helps here. The boats have IP problems, and you have multiple appearances of chromatic aberration (not only on the boats!).

 

9246: The people may need a model release. You have blown out highlights and clipped blacks. I would lift the shadows, and I suppose you have again those fringes.

4865: Underexposed shadows, blipping in the blacks, blown out highlights. The boats will generate an IP refusal.

In my opinion, one of the reasons that the photo is not sharp.

Kia ora,

Overall quality isn't so good when enlarged. Photo 5212 has exposure issues with the sun, and the other 3 is the quality of the file when enlarged and you may have problems with the people in the photo and the boats. With photo 9246, you have chromatic aberration - purple fringing:
