Rejected for Technical Issues?

Question

New to Adobe Stock. Like others before me, having trouble understanding rejections for Technicial Issues. Have read previous posts and watched tutorials, but still at a loss. (Frankly, some "accepted" I don't feel are as good as some rejected.) Would I have a better chance of being accepted if I just posted straight out of camera without any editing?  Probably not feasible, but sure would be helpful is there was detailed information on the rejections. Any feedback is greatly appreciated. (I posted 3 rejections.).

Hello,The overall quality isn't good. The lighting is quite bad in the 1st photo and it is too saturated. Also, you'll have IP issues as you have a branded name on the toy soldier's hat.2nd photo, exposure and lens flare and the 3rd image also image quality and a bit too saturated.You also need to ask yourself how these images can be used commercially.Have a read of this from Adobe about how to create better photos:https://helpx.adobe.com/stock/how-to/tips-stock-image-acceptance.html?set=stock--fundamentals--adobe-stock-contributor Editing also needs to be done to a certain degree as well, rather than just 'straight-out-of-the-camera'.

Ricky - thanks for your valuable input. All that does give me something to work with. BTW - what you may be referring to as lens flare in the second photo is actually a sun halo. An atmospheric phenomena of a ring around the sun. What you see is the same way it was seen by the naked eye.
