Night photography is an advanced sub-specialty that requires special skills, experience & technique. It's very challenging even for experts.

 

Have you taken any photography courses yet?  You should consider it. There's a lot to learn before you can take exceptional daytime photos that are Stockworthy. 

 

In the meantime, read your Contributor User Guide.

Surely you can see the issues with these images! Extremely blurry and noisy. You would have had to use a tripod to get sharp images at night time.

What others have mentioned. Out of focus, no detail.

I always look for ways to be constructive and give sound advice.

So here it comes...  After looking at 3 photos I saw the same proplem already mention in the first 2 replies.

Your challenge is that you don't seem to see it, just like you don't seem to think that sharing 10 photos is a bit too much to ask people that are here voluntarily trying to help you, just for the love of our craft.

 

Become much more demanding of your eye, and become your greates critic. I've been a pro all my adult life, (30+ years) and I once in a while I still suffer from: I could have done this or that. That is the desire of getting better, that humbles me and part of what keeps me doing what I love, and continue to get better.

It's all in one thousand little steps and details.

Cheers!

Most of the photos are blurry or out of focus.
Check them on your computer at 100% magnification before submitting them.

 

Increasing ISO to 6400 on an EOS R7 (APS-C camera) will result in a lot of noise.

Applying noise reduction will soften the images and they will no longer meet AdobeStock standards.

It is best to shoot at a lower ISO and use a tripod.

Really?
3G7A5480: Underexposed with complete loss of detail in shadows and overexposed highlights. Noise due to underexposure.
3G7A5430: Not focused. Poorly cropped and spots in background that neeed to be removed.
3G7A5484: Not focused. Underexposed with complete loss of detail in shadows and overexposed highlights. Noise due to underexposure.

I see the same issue everywhere in your photos. I suggest that you first try daylight photos where you have shorter exposure times. This will eliminate some of the problems you are having. Also, almost all photos require some post processing to fix cropping, exposure and imperfections.
