I'm new to Adobe stock and uploaded a few images to see if what I have would be acceptable for downloads. I received my first rejection and was wondering what could be the specific issues on this one. For those who have been doing this for some time, can you let me know what might be wrong with this one?

While mobile phone cameras can sometimes achieve images of acceptable quality, the small sensor, lack of features and in-camera processing more often than not just aren't up to the task. Always zoom in to between 100-200% to inspect your images before uploading. In this example, which looks ok zoomed out on a small screen, the flaws become quite apparent when you start zooming in.
