My submissions are getting rejected due to quality issues but I'm not sure about which aspect of the picture should be fixed. Any suggestions would be welcomed, thank you. I'm attaching one such picture below.

Zoom in 100-200% to carefully inspect your photos. Look for sharp focus, chromatic aberration, artifacts, noise, sensor spots and dust spots. Look at the histogram to determine whether you have any clipping (blownout or black areas with no detail).
Your image has a white balance issue (too blue), a leaning horizon, chromatic aberration among the leaves of the tree, and possibly a focus issue, though the file you uploaded is pixelated and too small to determine whether sharp focus was attained.

There is some chromatic abberation around the branches. The horizon is not level. The focus is a little soft. I feel it is a little too blue. The highlights are a little overexposed.

I feel this is better:

Compare your work with other Adobe Stock inventory in the same keyword category.

Is it as good or better than what Adobe Stock has on hand?
What would you use this for commercially?
Is the print quality good enough for t-shirts, tote bags and calendars?
Would you buy it?

Whatever you submit to Stock should be unique to get noticed and visually & technically suitable for use in commercial projects. As much as I like trees, there is a glut of tree inventory.

Best of luck with your next submission.
