Quality issues with submitted photos

Hello,

Do some reading about composition. Start with this link from Adobe:

Composition

Your composition needs work!

If you want to capture the effect of transmitted light, you should aim to shoot the thinner parts of the leaves.
If there are too many leaves, the image will simply turn out dark.

Since you’re new to photography, enroll in some courses to learn the fundamentals. Among other things, you’ll learn how to care for & maintain your equipment. HINT: pointing your camera directly at the sun is a good way to destroy your camera’s delicate sensors. For best results, the sun should be overhead or just behind your left or right shoulder.  

Since you’re new to Stock, start by reading the Contributor Guidelines to understand what’s expected. 

Start with these links:

• Photo Submission Overview
• Legal & Technical Requirements
• Photo Editing Best Practices

Also look at what Stock is selling because that’s what you’ll be competing with for sales.

Hope that helps.

Aiming your camera at a direct light source can degrade the image quality. Unrecoverable blown out highlights as well.

The large blown out sunspot is another reason for rejection. There is also no clear subject/focal point in the image. Try to imagine how a Buyer might use such an image...
