These are the rejected images by Adobe Stock. Can't figure out whats the issue, so, I thought of coming to the community and asking for your expertise. Any constructive help will be appreciated.

Images that are enlarged in part too much are less likely to pass review.
Think about what you will use the image for when taking the photo.

Most black and white images will be rejected.
Submit color images.

18: Depth of field too shallow

19: Questionable commercial value

16: Black and white conversions are rarely accepted

15: See 16
17: Nothing appears sharp

So, @daniellei4510, @yamato7 , thank you for your replies.
@yamato7 "Images that are enlarged in part too much are less likely to pass review." Can you tell me which image file are you referring to and I can improve from there.

Got you, b&w is a no go. Well it is what it is

Photos 18 and 19 are large cut-outs of a portion of the image.
Photo 18 has some unnecessary elements in it, so it would be better to organize the elements you want to express and then take the photo.

17_wood_logt_shawncel.png - quite blurry. Zoom in to at least 100% and the lack of detail becomes quite evident. Since this isn't a transparency, it should not be submitted in png file type.

Fragments of objects are not commercially useful to customers. They want full objects with ample room on all sides for adding text. Pictures should invite viewers into the frame and tell a story.
