Kia ora,

The biggest problem with this photo is the sky! It's overexposed; no detail in the sky! 

So, under quality - exposure issues.

The above image isn't B&W. This is B&W, which is not recommended!

Per the help pages:

https://helpx.adobe.com/stock/contributor/help/editing-dos-and-dont.html

Don’t: Convert your image to black & white or duotone. Buyers want the maximum flexibility provided by the full color image.

The shadows are also under exposed and it is black and white.

You've also converted it to duotone, which is not permitted by Adobe stock,

Hi,

 

I would say also the overexposed Sky and maybe also that the Skydiver are a little bit small.

Before you submit, please review the submission guidelines carefully and compare your work with other Stock inventory. To be accepted, your work should be as good or better than what's already represented in your keyword category.
