They removed my images and really don't know why

Please, could you tell me, what is "incompatibility with conditions" on picture of street or town? What a nonsense?

Adobe are removing duplicates. We have received official confirmation of this. (On Adobe Stock's Discord server, just a short time ago.) Have a look in your portfolio and you should be able to find these files still online, with different file numbers from the ones that were move to the Not Accepted tab.

Many of the recent removals have apparently been duplicates. In this case I agree with @Abambo  that these images don't seem to meet the current quality criteria, both suffering from exposure issues.

Adobe is currently purging the database for assets that they think should not have been entered into the database. It's happening a lot today.

 

With your assets, I could imagine that they have been removed because of quality issues. Looking at your first, it seems to be underexposed, looking at your second, there are also areas that could be better exposed.

Ok, if you think that the first one is underexposed then I understand why they removed it. From my point of view this isn't underexposed. If this image would be exposed right as you said, the scene would be boring. The light there has it own role in that image. Other think if this would be the quaility problem, Adobe has special info about it when they reject the image.

Officially, Adobe is removing duplicates. That's what they just announced. Somewhere on February 27. you should have gotten a notice from Adobe.
