Hello,

I think you could work on your composition. The images aren't quite balanced; I'm not sure about some of the blurry areas. The images are lacking something. 

Also, who are you selling to? Who is your target audience? Keep in mind that Adobe Stock is looking for commercially viable images. In order to sell, you have to give what the market wants!

57: Depth of field is too shallow.

56: Tree tops are out of focus.

In addition to what @daniellei4510 said, your shadows are too dark.

I'm surprised these weren't refused for 'similar content.' 

 

As you can see, Stock inventory already has a generous supply of plants, flowers, trees & leaves. 

https://stock.adobe.com/search?k=trees+bottom+up  17.5 million results

https://stock.adobe.com/search?k=leaf  77 million results

https://stock.adobe.com/search?k=pink+rose  6 million results

 

Even if yours get accepted, there's little chance of making a sale due to so much competing inventory. 

 

The biggest challenge for new contributors is finding unique subjects that Stock needs to satisfy customer demand. 

And then capturing commercial quality images to fill that need.

The AI-generated image is too enlarged and blurry.
This is why many images fail the review.
Please zoom in to 100% and check the image quality before submitting.

In addition, the rendering quality is extremely poor. Random objects and poorly formed details.
