rejected due to quality

This happens to me a lot. My pictures get rejected because of quality issues. I dont see why. Good resolution, no grain or artefacts to my eyes. And I think its sharp enough. 
Maybe becuase of the flare?

Shutterstock accepted the pictures.

Shutterstock appeals to a different customer base with lower requirements.

 

Adobe Stock customers expect the highest visual and technical quality for use in commercial projects.  As a customer, I could not use any of these images.  The quality is not high enough for professional print process.  Read these links.

 

Hope that helps.  Better luck next time.  🙂

Indeed, the flare creates a large blob of blownout light in each image. 

_MHO0350.jpg  - poor composition and depth of field is too shallow, rendering most of the image out of focus.

Shutterstock isn't as picky as Adobe Stock.
