The most obvious problem with the rejected image is that it's severely off balance. The horizontals need to be horizontal and the verticals vertical. There is also some chromatic aberration and artifacts. The glass is a really weird color; I'm not sure if that is what it really looks like or whether it's a feature of your processing. Had it not been rejected for Technical Issues it would have needed property and model releases due to signage, license plates and people.
Regarding the other photos, just a few quick comments. You can't post anything with a logo unless you have a property release, and I doubt that Coca-Cola is going to provide one for you. Most of the food photos have messy backgrounds and uncontrolled lighting. If you're interested in pursuing food photography, look at the workshop that Andrew Scrivani did for Adobe Stock. https://www.youtube.com/playlist?list=PLD8AMy73ZVxUqe5l8ROjSDQs3pBnW5Xwg

 

Also, read ALL of the Stock Contributor Learn and Support materials posted by Adobe before you jump right into posting your images. There's a lot to be aware of.

    Just to stress the point - do read the help files and follow the links they provide. It is really helpful and will answer a lot of your questions. If you have other questions, you can always post them here. But be specific.

    Actually, NO. I SEE 2-12 were not submitted at all. We are not really here to act as an art school, or ti save you the pain of rejection. Most people will insist on the actual picture and actual rejection.

    yes and that's what i said i did not upload them i just wanted to take an idea from the experts to know if I'm on the correct way or no and i understand that it's not an art school so don't be harsh on me please I'm just asking for knowledge because i have seen similar posts and they had good comments explaining to them what's wrong with their pictures so i did also post to ask.

    Also, about the trademarks i didn't get it because when i search on the website, there are 35,150 results for coca-cola, so why can't I?

    thank you

    Mostly people like 1-3 pictures and won't comment on 12.  Please start by giving up the rejection reason -Adobe ALWAYS give a reason and it would waste your time if we have to guess. But you certainly can't make money from Coca Cola or Macdonalds trademarks!!
