I wonder why my Adobe stock photo submissions got rejected 50%?

I believe I have commercial potential....

Maybe.  Before you submit, compare your work with current Stock inventory to ensure that what you have to sell is something that Stock needs and the quality is better than what Stock has now.

Stock already contains 67 million flower images.  Every size, shape, color and variety are represented. Your flower is nice, but it's unlikely to be seen, much less sold. There's too much competition from other inventory.  To succeed, find subjects that have less competition that a wide range of customers can use for commercial projects -- print, digital and merchandise.

Your other remarks make no sense, so I won't address them except to say that Stock makes no profit from rejecting assets.

• Stock is not an art gallery.  It's a global digital assets service with millions of customers worldwide.
• Stock makes money when contributors SELL something.
• They lose money when customers complain & demand refunds.
• That's why the acceptance standards are so high.

Photo 903 is overall too dark, the foreground (the tree) is not in focus and the highlight in the top right is overexposed. Why do you think "bias"? What basis? I too submit photos and have a high acceptance rate. I see the quality problems in your photos. Fix these issues and your acceptance rate will rise.

I applied sharpening to your photo 883. Notice the difference?

QUS7903.jpg - The foreground tree is quite blurry.

QUS7883.jpg - DOF is too shallow, causing the center of the flower to be out of focus

I don't know how long you've been a Stock Contributor, but Adobe's database has grown dramatically in the last ~1.5 years, resulting in increased competition in every niche, including travel and landscapes. If you search for your titles and keywords on any of your images, you'll see just how much competition you have. If your images don't appear in the first few pages of search results, Buyers may never see them. Additionally, it seems that your portfolio is not large enough to generate regular sales. Most of us believe that you need several thousand assets in your portfolio to realize a steady stream of sales.

There is no evidence that Adobe discriminates against Contributors from any country. If that was their strategy, why would they even permit uploads from those countries? The price of Adobe's Stock subscriptions has not changed in the 8-1/2 years that I've been a Contributor, and our royalties have remained constant at 33%.
