I have added some photos but they are rejected, unfortunately the reason is not very clear. Do you have an idea why this would be?

DSC1856.jpg - the bloom is not in sharp focus 

DSC1604.jpg - underexposed and not in sharp focus 

DSC1836.jpg - over saturated and not in sharp focus 

DSC1851.jpg - same as above 

DSC1853.jpg - same

 

There are already tens of millions of floral images in the Adobe Stock database, and yours would have to be technically perfect to be accepted and somehow unique to be ever sold. While practicing photography and editing skills can be fun and useful, look for more unique subjects for stock submissio

The reason is very clearly quality issues.

 

1853: not in focus:

1851: focus.

1836: focus, exposure, very slightly, and probably irrelevant noise.

1604: underexposed, saturation, increase micro contrasts (texture, structure, clarity).  The white balance can be slightly corrected. This picture may pass after corrections.

1856: lower the whites, add contrasts, micro contrasts. Correct the white balance slightly.

  • Examine images at 100-300 magnifcation. 
  • Correct all imperfections if you can in Photoshop or Lightroom.  Discard the ones you can't correct.
  • Compare remaining images with current Stock inventory. 
  • Does Stock have over 20 million of these already?
  • Is yours better than what Stock has? 
  • Would you buy it?

Hope that helps.

Thanks for your comments, I went to look at the raw photos and they are not so blurry... that the photos I forwarded and uploaded here. I edit with lightroom and I have a question about this: I slide the slider for sharpness all the way to the left, because in the past I was refused photos due to noise.

when I slide it to the left, I see the photo become very blurry indeed... but what is the default value of this slider without any editing.. I see that lightroom always has a different initial value after importing the photos

Moving the slider to the left is essentially "unsharpening" the image; to restore the slider to the default position, just double click it. To restore the entire image to the original settings, press Reset at the bottom of the Develop Module. When you're applying sharpening zoom way in so you can see the effect that it is having on noise and halos around the edges of objects.

Sharpening is needed for all pictures. That is part of the standard editing. The standard setting may be dependent on the camera and the there is the possibility to set some parameters during the import. As I do not use that feature, sharpening is always at 40 for me and noise reduction is at 0.

 

Setting the sharpness higher will enhance the noise in the picture, but there are methods that help to keep that effect low and get a sharp image. High ISO noise reduction 

 

If you have, however, an image that is out of focus, you won't save it with sharpening.
