All my sky photos getting rejected after being accepted in the past, can't figure out why

My sky photos got accepted in the past, but just had a bunch of stormy sky photos get rejected for quality issues and can't figure out why. I tried different noise reduction levels, but they still get rejected. Here are a few samples (Clicking twice will zoom in more):

I don't click on external links where I can't check the source...

Personally, I wouldn't spend much time on corrections.  You're competing with too many similar assets.

https://stock.adobe.com/search?k=cloudy+sky  5.2 million

https://stock.adobe.com/search?k=sunset  29.7 million

https://stock.adobe.com/search?k=sky 86.5 million

 

Put your efforts into subjects that have way less representation. Everyone & their cousin submits sunsets & clouds, but nobody submits soda cans and cardboard containers.

My sky photos have been my best sellers lately.

hmmm... so I'm not the only one whose rejection rates have exploded...

and also not the only one who thinks that reviewers pick the first available reason for rejection, not necessarily the best one..

which, seems to me, makes submissions a time consuming gamble without any reasonable way to fix the issues..

what to do then??


"and also not the only one who thinks that reviewers pick the first available reason for rejection"

 

That's exactly what they do. No need to continue if they find one. And it only takes one.
