Submission Rejected: Quality Issue

[wyeong]

First time submitting and got rejected. Any tips and constructive suggestions on what I should work on for these images (all photos here were rejected)

Your first is underexposed

, as shown on the histogram, ill composed and without any interest. There is some noise in the background. The focus is not very sharp.

Your second is underexposed. The can should catch your eye more, it's too dull, there is a strange “shadow” in the background. The depth of field is too small. There is a slight noise level, that could be corrected.

Your third is out of focus and ill composed. It is also slightly underexposed.

Thanks for the great suggestions 🙏 will try again with these tips

The first is not well composed, too tightly cropped, verticals are leaning, and it appears to be over saturated.  One of the leaves is damaged, and I don't think the image has any commercial appeal. 
The second has blownout areas.

Unfortunately these resources have not been very helpful 😞

They should be, as they are the contributor manual. Definitely, they will not get you to learn photography. They describe what Adobe expects as assets and quality.

wyeong - Your best image is the one with the cherry blosson tree, but unfortunately only two buds are in focus and the colors are dull.  Who is going to use the other two images and for what purpose? Look at images here in Adobe Stock and elsewhere on the internet. Whatch photography videos on Youtube, read about photography on the internet and learn to process images. Good luck ..!

Do you have any favourite YouTube channels to recommend?
