Hi,
Taken with a smartphone right? So, immediately you're going to get problems with JPEG compression, so this is what you have here. If you zoom in to at least 100% you start to see signs of JPEG compression. The detail isn't sharp, edges are more blurred, etc.
Smartphone cameras/pictures are great for Instagram/social media, but not so good for commercial work, which is what this stock site is aimed at.
Also, noise reduction has been done to a certain extent in the internal processing which also blurs the pixels to some extent.

Hi Kkato,
Nice image you got. Post processing is usually necessary for removing noise, improving exposure, and so on. This is expected to be done by the moderators.
Zoom the image at 100% or above and you will notice that there is a lot of grain noise especially in the area of the sky. Also take a look at the side of grass in the highlighted area and you will also note halo on both sides. These need to be corrected before they will be accepted.
Best wishes
JG
