What is wrong with the quality of this image?

This image was rejected with 'quality issues' as the reason. I have no idea why, can anyone please help me and tell me what is wrong with it? Thank you!

Noise. You have hell too much noise:

(besides the missing contrast and missing sharpness).

Hello,

Noise in the background, and I think the out-of-focus dead yellow flowers are a problem in terms of composition because it takes your eye away from the main subject!

Thanks, I also thought it might be too blurry and distracting background.

Welcome to the forum. It appears that you're a first time visitor here. We see a lot of rejected floral images here, perhaps because new Contributors are under the impression that such images are saleable as Stock photos. Adobe Stock already has many millions of flowers of excellent quality, and unless yours is technically perfect and somehow unique, it won't be accepted. Search the database for "yellow lily" and you'll find >200,000 marches. Try to find more unique subjects to photograph !

Thanks, I only realized this after coming here to see what I could learn... I've learned and now I know. 🙂

Check out the Insights and Artist Hub tabs on your Dashboard page for info on what types of assets are selling and what Adobe Stock is looking for. The Adobe Stock Discord community also has info from Adobe Curators that may help you determine what unique content they need.
