I assume it was rejected for quality issues, which include soft focus, leaning verticals, underexposure, noise and artifacts.

Depth of field. The sharpess appears to be on the rocks and walkway in the foregound while the skyline is soft, which is really, to me, the main point of interest. The buildings on the left could stand to be straightened.  The blue line floating in the sky on left left. Even if everything else in this image were perfect, the blue line would result in a rejection.

Just to add, the quality issues @Jill_C and @daniellei4510 have pointed out become apparent when viewing at 100%-200% view in Lightroom/Photoshop.

Hello,

Yep - it's a beautiful image -why would it be rejected? Good question!

Well, this photo is fine for social media, personal use, and so on, BUT, do bear in mind that Adobe Stock is FOR commercial purposes, and unfortunately, it doesn't quite meet the quality standards that are necessary for commercial use!

Also, bear in mind that smartphone cameras are not quite up to the standard of DSLRs/Mirrorless cameras even iPhone cameras!
