Hi! I am a brand new contributor to Adobe Stock, this photo was rejected for technical reasons. If anyone can provide advice as to why that would be great! Thanks!

What stood out the most to me was the white balance appearing off (artificial lighting maybe?), and significant parts of the image being not sharp sure to a shallow depth of field.
I hope this helps!

@Adelysa Photos You must look at your images between 100 and 200 percent. As you can see from my screenshot at 100 percent, areas are out of focus and the knife handle is not "clean" by retouching spots and dirt. I also suggest doing some better arranging of your tabletop items. This looks too cluttered and so we don't know what to concentrate on. Also, think about the way cooks prepare items for cooking or preserving. It appears here you are documenting the process for extracting tomato seeds?

Why did you choose the small green tomato to focus on? I think your depth of field is too shallow.
Cropping is also awkward, with foreground elements like the jar or sieve cut off with no obvious plan.
The knife should be in or out, and probably the parsley too.

The cloth with the seeds is dark so they will show up but the cloth is rather shabby.
