Hello,

First thing is that there are tons and tons and tons... of flower photos, so to be honest I wouldn't really bother with this theme.

On the technical side, you have white balance problems, the flowers aren't really very sharp, and also signs of noise. 

A good place to start is to read the Adobe help files, links below:

The first photo need sharpening and the second has blown out highlights. Try to make your photo more apealing. I would try this:

I wouldn't spend much effort on this except for personal use.  Stock already contains 24 million perfect flowers to choose from. It's highly unlikely you'll make any sales in this fiercely competitive category.

My advice is to find other subjects to photograph that are in high demand and have less representation. 

• Aging,
• Beauty & cosmetics,
• Banking & finance,
• Construction,
• Cultural diversity,
• Drone footage,
• Education & learning,
• Entertainment,
• Environment & climate change,
• Fitness & exercise,
• Food, drink & nutrition,
• Holidays,
• Home & office,
• Medicine & medical technology,
• Mental health,
• Poverty & homelessness,
• Real people in social settings,
• Science & math,
• Sports,
• Travel,
• Yoga, meditation & spirituality.

Avoid low % sellers:  e.g. sunsets, clouds, plants & pets. 

Merry Christmas!
