The colors are oversaturated.
The foreground is out of focus.
You might have some IP issues (lighthouse and other landmarks).

The bushes ruin the photo.

This is what it looks like without the bushes:

Made some changes, but are they enough

Those bushes have got to go. And the sky could be more saturated.

Many thanks for the feedback on this. If I can fix the saturation and over exposure, I'll re-submit, as this photo sells really well on Shutterstock - by a factor of 4 compared to my others

That's quite astonishing. It's however a nice picture, if you can fix the issues.

It seems to be over-saturated and not sharply focused. The large blurry bushes in the foreground are somewhat distracting.

I also believe the lighthouse and the side of the one building are overexposed.

I'm not sure why this is the case, but many moderators are American and tend to have a subjective approach to photo reviews. I've also noticed that their perception of aesthetics differs from that of people from other countries. As a result, if you're from a different country, your photos may be rejected more often based on their personal preferences. I believe there's too much censorship involved. People have different tastes and appreciate different styles of photography. I for example like the New Topographics movement that steers away from traditional compositions, framing, colours, sharpness etc.

I'm not sure, how you got this nonsense. We do not know where the moderators come from, but hiring Americans for such a task would be very expensive. Operations like this are normally done from low wage countries, with limited support from high wage countries. Image quality can be checked from everywhere in the world, and the criteria is not biased on personal perception of aesthetics. If you contribute for stock, you need to submit neutral assets, that the buyer can modify to their needs. Submissions can be artistic, but they need to meet the quality standards. Please note: stock is about craft, not art.
