I suspect the rejection reason is Quality/Technical issues but Intellectual Property could also be a factor.

Read the Stock Contributor User Guide for more details.

 

Adobe Stock customers expect the highest visual and technical quality for use in commercial projects.

If that is the picture you tried to upload: it's too small! Illustrative editorial is not accepted, if you do not have a minimum prior sales of 100 sales. But I think you mean that you edited the picture?


If you want us to check your image, you need to upload the full quality asset as submitted to stock. As such, I can say that the thing left bottom needs to be cropped out. As for the rest, study the requirements.

What was the rejection reason? Illustrative Editorial images are subject to the same technical criteria as other images, and even if they're technically perfect Adobe still might not accept them if there is no clear editorial reason to do so.
