Rejected photos on Stock

Hello everyone,

I hope the professional stock photographers here won’t hold it against me, but I have a few questions regarding some images that were rejected with the reason cited as "QUALITY ISSUES." These images were, of course, AI-generated, and I’ve been focusing on a specific niche. Ironically, the very photos I was most confident about, those I believed had strong commercial potential—were the ones that got rejected.

Could someone with more experience or a professional eye help me understand what might be the exact reason for their rejection?

If you zoom in to 100%, you'll see that some areas have emphasized edges.
The same phenomenon is seen in all images.
Also, the focus may be too shallow.

Thank you for your response, I understand.
I just have one more question. Is it acceptable to re-edit or upload a very similar (corrected) photo to Adobe Stock?
I’ve read that uploading the same image again might lead to account issues or a ban.

I know it might sound like a stupid question, since their review team is very sharp, but I’m just a bit concerned they might consider the edited version as a duplicate, even though I’ve corrected the original issues?

It is not prohibited to modify rejected images and resubmit them.
Submitting multiple similar images will not only result in your images being rejected, but spam-like submissions may also stop the review process or result in your account being suspended.
