why are my images not approved on adobe stock

It's helpful if you include the reason for the rejection.  Technical reasons, IP reasons, etc.  I'm guessing technical reasons but it's a bit of a waste of time if it's something else.

The sunset mountain photo appears to be an illustration and should be submitted as a vector.  The wrong file type may be enough for a technical rejection.  I think the sun flares are a bit off-putting, but I think that would be a commercial appeal rejection instead of technical if the reviewers didn't care for them.

The flower photo is underexposed and had very little in focus.

Hope that helps!

The flower is too blurry, not enough details.

Special camera effects like lens flares are not allowed.

Hi @Kuldeep25454072otpe ,

Both photos are underexposed. Details are lost in the shadows of the first photo. Also, the lens flair is considered a technical issue.

The second photo has shakes. You needed to shoot with faster shutter speed to freeze the motion of the plant. Also it seem you did not have enough depth. In addition to what @Nancy OShea left for you to read, look at this link that will give you a list of what to look out for, how to examine your files before upload....

Best wishes
