What did Adobe return as a refusal reason? Quality issues?

5515: For image composition, you should simply edit out some elements: 

You will also need to lift the shadows, enhance local contrasts and eventually correct chromatic aberration.

5527 is missing blacks and whites (check the histogram!) and the DOF is too narrow. In addition, the focus is on the wrong point. 

Autumn glow is nice, but bthe DOF is too narrow. You could lift the shadows a bit and add some local contrasts.

4859: That picture to has a too narrow DOF! The exposure is not right and I think that the white balance is wrong.

Quality problems it says

[Abambo]

That's what I thought. All my points are quality talk points.

[hcloberg]

Tried some of what you said; edited out some elements, lifted the shadow a bit on the green and maked the sky a tuch more blue

Still not accepted 

[Abambo]

Still quality issues?

[Abambo]

You still have chromatic aberration in the picture: 

The picture itself made a huge progress with the distractions gone.

DSC04859.jpg - DOF is too shallow, almost nothing is in focus

DSC05527.jpg - same here, I can't find anything in focus

I think I prefer the little more abstract, less clinical look to it

but thanks for feedback guys

Stock is not an art gallery.  It's a global stock assets business that reaches millions of potential customers worldwide. 

Stock customers are seeking realistic subjects that they can use in commercial projects— posters, magazine & TV ads, product packaging, social media, blogs, and merchandise (t-shirts, hats, tote bags).  Thinking like the customer will give you greater insights into what's expected from Contributors. 

It's vital to know what you're competing with before you submit. There are over 100 million PLANT assets in Stock's vast inventory.

Stock is about craft, not art. If you want to sell art, check other providers.

A little underexposed, but these should be removed.

Hello,

The thing about stock photos is that they are generally used to sell something—to show a concept, an idea and so on.

I doubt that your photos have a lot of commercial value, although this is just my opinion.

What concept are you trying to show in your photos? It should be practical.

Too many areas are blurred:

Stock photos should have a clear idea/concept that can be used in a variety of ways.
