Rejections

This is a nice picture, and on social media, it will earn many likes.

But for Adobe stock it's a near miss. Indeed, the focus is an issue, even that I've seen worse. But equally an issue is the missing contrast on the flower, and the artefact in the out of focus area. The compostion did disturb me on a lesser scale. It's not great, but it doesn't hurt my eye neither. 

Hello,

Focus is not good. The composition is not good as well.
