Rejected due to quality issue

Coleus is one of my favorite houseplants. But it’s also very common and frequently submitted to Stock. 

This is what you’re competing with in Stock inventory:

Yours have some focus problems.

Photos that simply feature a large number of similar subjects tend to be rejected.
I have had similar photos rejected multiple times.

The area in focus in the photo below is too narrow.
On Adobe Stock, photos with a wider area in focus are more likely to pass the review process.

They’re nice images actually, but I believe the moderators are looking for any excuse to reject images that are already over-represented in the database. The top one is slightly underexposed and could use more contrast. The bottom one, when I view its histogram, shows that the reds are oversaturated.
