Another FLOWER!!!  Ouch. My head is exploding.  😵

Stock already has 25 million flowers. 

• If your work isn't as good or better than what Stock already has, it's unlikely to be accepted. 
• And it's even less likely to sell due to fierce competition in this keyword category.

Best advice, work on your depth of field -- the stem is blurry. Subjects must be fully focused.

And find other subjects to photograph. Something nobody else has thought of.

Hello! Agreed with @Abambo @George_F @RALPH_L . By the way about Getty images. They are checking serious enough. Average quality there is higher than this flower.

Greetings!

I'm also in agreement with @Abambo and @RALPH_L .  Simply opening the image at full size was enough to spot the noise and artifacts.  I think there is room for improvement with the settings, 1/800th sec seems high for shutter speed espeically with iso 1000.  I personally would have taken this on a tripod, although I'm not sure that would fix the artifacts around the petal edges.

Like Abambo pointed out though, there are already millions of flowers in the database already.  A search for flowers shows 28,351,185 results.  The sales potential here is extremely limited when you are competing with 28 million other assets.

Good luck with future submissions!

Noise and artefacts!

Alamy does no check at all and Getty, I do not know. Anyhow, it took me about 10 seconds to spot the problems.

Moderation is done by humans, and Adobe is known to be very stringent and especially stringent on flower pictures as there are millions of those in the database.
