Dear all,
I just start my journey in Photography and edition. I tried to upload some of my pictures to adobe stock and all of them was rejected. I am pretty new and I don´t know what is the technical issue, but I would love to hear feedback from you. 🙂
I really appreciate your feedback and support.
Best regards,

The pictures are really nice and in a photo competition I could imagine that they would get points.
But: unfortunately, for stock, you should deliver naturally looking pictures, without fancy filters and monochrome conversions.
First: In the histogram, you are missing the blacks, which gets you to that nice-looking appearance. Unfortunately, for stock, it is better to have a correctly exposed (processed) picture.
I also think that the saturation is too strong.
I would also photoshop out most of those reflections or at least correct the chromatic aberrations:
I would recommend to give up the programs, setting the camera in manual mode and shooting raw.
Second: I agree with @RALPH_L .
Third: Desaturated pictures are rarely accepted to the stock database. In addition, it's not really in focus.
Fourth: The histogram shows an underexposed picture:
In addition, it is undersaturated. The DOF could be better, but I doubt that this was the major refusal reason.
Last picture: This picture is bad, with most elements out of focus. In addition, there are many artefacts:
Blown out reflections and chromatic aberration:
The histogram shows also missing blacks.
