Critique: Any suggestions as to why this image was rejected?

[Stuart5E77]

Hi there

I'm new to Adobe Stock and have been trying to upload some images into it. One has come back as rejected for technical issues - but offers no suggestions as to what those might be. Can anyone offer some suggestions as to why the attached image has been rejected?

Thanks in advance,

Stuart

#1 It's B&W and Adobe Stock customers won't pay for B&W.  They want color.

#2 Too grainy and noisy. 

Adobe Stock looks for highest visual and technical quality. See links below.
