These are rookie mistakes that could have easily been avoided by reading the Stock Contributor User Guide.  Pay particular attention to the image DOs & DON'Ts. 

 

Adobe Stock customers expect the highest visual and technical quality for use in commercial projects. Watermarks and image stamps are not allowed for obvious reasons.

 

Good luck.

Unfocused, poorly composed, watermark included.

Images with watermarks are never accepted. I'd also suggest you do some research on basic composition. Dead-center subjects generally do not make for exciting compositions.

Hello,

You have issues with focus:

And, using smartphones generally speaking there will always be quality issues.

 

Have a read of these articles from Adobe.
