Sure. Noisy and out of focus. Contains many artefacts.

If you are new to stock, you should consider these resources: https://helpx.adobe.com/stock/contributor/tutorials.html
Please read the contributor user manual for more information on Adobe stock contributions: https://helpx.adobe.com/stock/contributor/user-guide.html
See here for rejection reasons: https://helpx.adobe.com/stock/contributor/help/reasons-for-content-rejection.html
and especially quality and technical issues: https://helpx.adobe.com/stock/contributor/help/quality-and-technical-issues.html

If you are a generative AI contributor, please look into these instructions and follow them by the letter: https://community.adobe.com/t5/stock-contributors-discussions/generative-ai-submission-guidelines/td...

(Nb. Next time, start your own thread. Each refusal is different. Give the exact refusal reason. The title of the refusal is enough!)

In addition to the technical issues described by @Abambo , I would point out that the Adobe Stock database is already overrun with floral images. Search on "yellow flower" and you'll get more than 5.5 Million matches! While it's good to practice your photography and editing skills on flowers, I wouldn't bother uploading them to Adobe Stock. The chances that you would ever sell any are close to nil.

If I see one more flower, I think my head will explode.  😵

Stock already has 25 million roses in every size, shape, color and variety.  Even if you get your rose accepted, you'll make next to zero in sales from it.   Focus your time and camera lens on subjects nobody has thought of before. 

Go out in the world and look at ordinary objects in new & interesting ways. Check your light levels, watch your depth of field and if needed, use a tripod to stabilize your camera. 

If you're new to photography, enroll in some photography courses and join a photography club. It's a great way to meet new people and learn from fellow photographers.  Have fun!

You will! Except if Adobe decides that flowers need to have a signed model release.

(For the ones taking this seriously serious: just kidding, It's May first!)

We prank each other on April 1st (April Fools Day).  🙂

Happy May Day!

April first, you should read twice your newspaper, yes. May first is also used to prank people, but it's less popular. It may even be limited to a local population here in my region. When you get successfully pranked, you become a May-Calf.
