Hi @Elfikr ,

Your photos have too much of a shallow depth of field. As a result too much of the subject is out of focus. If the flower of the first image was the subject, you needed to zoom in more on it to reduce the negative space. Otherwise the leaves should be within focus.

 

 

Also your photos are underexposed. The fourth image has a composition issue. What I would consider the subject is cropped. and the center is out of focus.

Zoom in on your files at between 100 and 200% to view the issues before submitting.

Best wishes

Jacquelin

Hello,

You could work on your composition:


Composition:

This is distracting.

IMG_0826.jpeg - poorly framed - you've cut off the edges of the leaves. It also has limited commercial appeal.

You were give a reason when the asset was rejected. I assume it was a "quality" rejection. What I see are No Commercial Value, Underexposed Shadows, Poor depth of Field, Poor Cropping. There are millions of flowers and vegitation photos in the database. Your photos must be "top notch" to catch the attention of potential buyers.  
Here for instance, is your first photo. Zoomed in and composed to the Rule of Thirds. Exposure and color are adjusted. The photo was then sharpened. What do you think?

It is not a bad photo. Composition, is fine, it is not a must to keep to the rules of composition.  I like that focus is on the flower. People who buy the photo also can make the photo a little bit lighter
