Hi,

It is very dark and the cat could use some sharpening.

There are also artifacts and banding in the background:

For more details about "technical issues" and the other rejection reasons, take a look at this article from the Adobe Stock help:

Reasons content is rejected at Adobe Stock

Hope that helps,

Michael

Look at the histogram - it's way underexposed. Take note of the graph that the pixels are all on the left. This shows that it is underexposed.
