Hello! I'm new to this, why are these pictures rejected? I would love to know your opinions. Thanks.

Clouds, trees & flowers won't make many sales for you.  Focus your camera lens on something that hasn't been done 150 million times before.  😉

 

Adobe Stock customers expect the highest visual and technical quality for use in commercial projects.  Emphasis on commercial use.  T-shirts, tote bags, calendars, posters, billboard, TV and magazine ads, etc... Think about what customers want and give them something they can use.  Meanwhile, read these links.  There's good information here to help you.

 

Hope that helps.

Compare your images to others in the same keyword categories to discern what Adobe considers acceptable quality.
