hi. I uploaded a photo to Adobe Stock. But after 5 days, it was not approved.
"Thanks for giving us the chance to consider your image. Unfortunately, during our review we found that it's similar to another image(s) you've already uploaded, so we can't accept it into our collection.
Images must be different enough to provide additional value to our customers. We can't accept more than three color variations of the same image or similar images, and models must appear in different situations or with different expressions to be considered. Please be selective and submit only the very best from each image series."
But I haven't uploaded this photo to Adobe Stock before, or any photos like that. I had previously uploaded only one photo which was not approved due to low quality. And it was not like this photo
I would be grateful if you could help me

Sunrises / sunsets are a very over represented category in Adobe Stock. It's quite possible that the Moderator rejected it because there are already thousands of similar images in the database.

The text for "similar" refusal is not good. It should be "similar pictures in our database or similar pictures in your portfolio". Sunset and sunrise pictures are not getting asked a lot, but are abundantly in the database.

BTW: the picture is nice, but you did not post the full size picture here. But even so, artefacts are visible.

Maybe you haven't but everyone else has. 😏
It's no mistake.
Adobe Stock contains over 12 million perfect sunsets -- enough for 3 lifetimes.
