I'd love feedback on my rejected photos, thank you!
Sorry, but the photos should not pass control, they are not focused well, some are blurred, and some of the are underexposed.
Also cropping could be improved in some of the photos.
Hello,
This was an easy rejection; the focus is bad in all of them. You need a faster shutter speed.

Adobe want to license world-class commercial photography. But these are snapshots of your cute pets in untidy real-world settings. There is a world of difference. They are fabulous memories - I have many similar pics - but nobody will buy them to use in an advert or blog. Do you have any training or commercial experience? If not, get some and after a year or two you may be ready.

In addition to the focus issues noted by others, the compositions are cluttered. While photographing and editing images of beloved pets is good practice, there are already millions of such images in the Adobe Stock database, so yours would have to be technically perfect, unusual and compelling to ever be noticed or sold.

Snapshots of pets might be fine for sharing with friends & family on social media. But that's not what Adobe Stock customers pay for. You'll need to do much better if you want to succeed at Stock Photography.
Compare your pictures with current Stock inventory to see what's missing from yours. Also look at how many dog images Stock already has. You're competing with millions & millions of other dog submissions. The likelihood of selling one is very low. Best advice, find other unique subjects to photograph that nobody else has thought of. 😉

Hope that helps.
