which Category should I use?

[Naige28933759vj2u]

Hi everyone, 

I tired to upload a image of stone isolated on transparent background. I checked other images in Adobe stock what kind of category they used because I don't know what should I use and the Category of these images are stone and rock! I could't find such Category from the Category list. Can you please help me to figure out where to put in such Category? If I can't use Category stone and rock, what kind of Category should I use for my image?

And there is another question. Adobe rejected all my photos of wood or stone texture background (I attached one), can you please help to have a look where is the problem of my image? 

Thank you very much, and have a great day!

Naige

The category really doesnt matter. Just choose one that closely fits. Your photo is not focused and some of the highlights are overexposed.

Thank you Ralph! And I found the keywords are alphabetical ordered when I copy paste them from my keyword folder. Shall I reorder them once the images are approved and put the relevant keywords at the first of the list? 

Thank you!

As indicated by @RALPH_L the category is unimportant; I've read that it's essentially a hold-over from the days when Adobe acquired Fotolia, and is now irrelevant to the manner in which Buyers search for images. The wood texture image is quite interesting, but unfortunately is not in sharp focus.
