Similar from one single photograph on the subject never before

[kirilli90231968]

I do not understand why everything is so with the acceptance of files now. I took a picture of a garden shears for the first time in my life, I submitted this one photo for review, but it was rejected due to a similarity. Up to this point I do not have a photo - NO ONE of a garden shears in my portfolio - neither in hands nor in isolation.

Rejections for similars could also mean that there are already many similar images in the database from other contributors.

I understand that the content is not original in the general sense. But it's very clear here (on the screenshot) Specifically, according to the image of the author in this case. No others - "means" is not implied in disclaimer text

I count 26 thousand results for Garden Shears in Adobe Stock. 

Maybe Adobe doesn't get much demand for this subject.

Can we see the image you submitted? 

Maybe it was rejected for other reasons and reviewer checked the wrong box.

[kirilli90231968]

Yes, sure. As I said, there is nothing original in this photo and I won't even resubmit it again. I just hope that the reasons for rejection would be correct in the future. Thank you for pointing out that this may be a reviewer's error. Sincerely

It probably should have been rejected for technical reasons.  The focus and white balance need to be better.

 I think in this case it does not matter much already). But thank you for your interest in my question, and for your advice regarding the quality and choice of topics for subsequent photos.
