    Poor:

    Subject,

    angle,

    composition,

    lighting,

    camera settings.

     

    Apart from that, there's no commercial value.  Put yourself in the customer's shoes.  Would you buy this?  What would you use it for commercially?  Read these links.

    Focus! Flower pictures need to be more than perfect, as there are so many in the database, that Adobe does not need more. So they are exceotional stringent.

      You cannot use the a picture in Adobe Stock to suggest yours should be accepted. Adobe now have over 300 million pictures and have raised their standards. Your work must be world class, perfect, commercial photography. You need to deal with ALL the criticisms, not just focus - but perfect focus is taken for granted. But don't bother with flowers! There are already 26 million flower pictures. Research what subjects are needed, to build up your business.

      Very little in focus due to the shallow depth of field, and harsh lighting creating bright spots and dark shadows.
