Hello,

Firstly, your image is a little underexposed- take note of the histogram:

And there are signs of noise - it looks like you used the noise reduction filter - it's noticeable on the nose and mouth.

In my view the DOF is fine. You want the viewer to focus on the eyes, and you have done this well. The main issue I think, is exposure and possibly noise.

 

The same issue with the shed - exposure:

 

And if you used colour grading to tone the photo, don't. Leave it natural looking.

The depth of field is too shallow in the monkey image, causing large sections of the image, including his nose, to be out of focus.

 

The landscape image is quite underexposed and looks like you've applied a filter, which is not allowed by Adobe Stock.

The monkey's eyes are nicely focused, which is always important, but there appears to be some motion blur on its arm. The shed and water image seems a tad soft throughout.
