Why did these get rejected?

Thanks all, I'll look into the suggestions. Thanks again

You should tell us the rejection reason, as given by Adobe. The header is enough. Seeing the pictures, I assume quality issues.

All pictures may have sharpness issues. If you have flower pictures, be sure to have the petal in focus. Your pictures need to be edited, so that they are correctly exposed, levelled, sharpened, but you should abstain from applying artistic filters. The buyer can always do that if needed, but they can't remove your modifications afterwards. 

Stock is about craft, not art. 

I assume these were rejected for Quality/Technical reasons.  Apart from the focus issues, there's not much here that sets it apart from other Stock inventory.  No wow factor.

It helps to see what other Contributors are doing before you submit.

Hope that helps.

Hi @tibor_1974 ,

All your files are underexposed. You also need to set a better depth of field for your shots. For the macro, it seem you went in too close and with a shallow depth of field. 

The second flower is better than the first, but I'd still have difficulty cropping it from the background because of the softness here.

Best wishes

Hello,

Sorry in advance, but

IMG 0583, has bad composition - it is a photo of what? There is no prominent subject. The sky is rather washed out, and the middle ground merges with the foreground.

The macro flower - the focus is generally bad, exposure is not good and composition again, could be better.

Same as the third photo - composition, focus, exposure.

This one looks like you've applied a selective color treatment, since the background is too dark, almost lacking color.

There is almost nothing in focus in  IMG_0477.jpg. Adobe doesn't seem to accept images with extremely shallow DOF.

The cityscape is not in sharp focus, the shadows are underexposed, the white balance is too blue, and there is chroma noise in the sky.

As for the flowers, there are presently 44,107,117 flower images available on Adobe Stock. So the competition is tough. Search for 'flowers' on Adobe Stock and have a look at the competition in question.

The landscape image, to me, lacks contast, especially in the foregound.
