It's a nice picture for social media, but not for Adobe stock. as @George_F  points out, the DOF is too shallow.  In addition you have chromatic aberration.

It looks also to me that you tried to sharpen a lot, as your out of focus areas look like they have a lot of artefacts and are not smooth indeed.

Lens flare:

And of course, as mentioned the depth of field is too shallow!

With the shallow depth of field, there isn't much in focus in the photo.

 

The histogram was missing whites and I think the darks and shadows are a bit too dark.

 

There is what appears to be a light flare.  Natural light flares aren't a technical flaw per say, but I don't think it benefits the photo in this case. 

 

Hope that helps!
