I tried uploading this to Adobe Stock but it said there are technical issues meaning it wasn't accepted.

Could anyone outline why?

As others have said - out of focus! And this is a problem:

Was this intentional?

Didn't notice that one, if I plan on redoing it I will see if there is any way to fix that with Pixelmator Pro, if you know of a way please let me know

It doesn't look much like iced coffee, either.  Stock photography is less artistic expression and more realism.  A coffee drink should look like a coffee drink, not fruit punch.

    This is what iced coffee looks like before you mix it, but if you're referring to the contrast or something I can understand what you mean, please iterate what makes you think so, thanks for the feedback.

    Look at the picture at 100% and you will see that it is effectively out of focus.

      Hi @Levi5CCA ,

      I like the photo, however too much is out of focus. There is not enough depth of field. Also it is flat. There is not enough contrast.

      Best wishes

        Thanks, I can see that now you explained it. Not sure what you mean about contrast though as when I add contrast it looks way worse.

        Contrast is easily overdone. It's like the salt in the soup. You need it, but too much is not good.

        I don't know what programs you use to edit your files, but contrast can be added by more than one method. Depending on your workflow, you could use a contrast slider or a curve tool, not to forget the more subtle adaptions like texture and clarity (Adobe jargon).
