There's a world of difference between snapshots taken with a phone camera & high quality Stock photos that are purchased for commercial use. That's not to say you can't get decent images with a phone, but it's much harder due to the equipment's limitations and lack of resolution (megapixels).

If you're serious about photography, start saving for a good entry level camera (new or used), a couple of lenses & a tripod. You'll also need some external lights if you shoot indoors. Enroll in some photography courses & join a photography club. Go on field trips & practice, practice, practice.

A picture is worth a thousand words. Post one or two images and the reason Stock rejected them.

Quality/technical issues are the most common reasons for refusal. Stock Customers expect perfection for use in commercial projects. Other services, not so much.

Read your Contributor User Guide for more tips. Also compare your work with current Stock inventory. If yours isn't as good or better than what Stock has, don't submit it.

Adobe lists this as one of their considerations when moderating assets: "General composition: Is your horizon straight? Have you cropped the image too much? Consider leaving a designer room to add their own text or objects." This would apply to the flower image and the one of what I assume is a field of corn? The sky is burned out on the landscape image.

You are not the first person to post here saying that their assets being accepted by Shutterstock aren't being accepted by Adobe, which would suggest that Adobe has higher standards than other stock sites. It's hard to say.

Are your images, AI generated? if yes it could be that Adobe is actually overwhelmed by the AI images and they are rejecting as if there was no tomorrow ....
