I've just started Adobe Stock this week and this image is the first one. There is no clue why this image have rejection.

Thank you!

You didn't post the reason they gave you, so I'm going to guess it was technical reasons.

The photo is not sharp, it is noisy, it has poor lighting (looks like you used the flash in your phone), and the composition isn't very good (bowls cut off, dark blob bottom left, cup (?) at top, etc).

You are going to find it very difficult to shoot stock photography with a mobile phone. The sensor is too small, and the lens isn't the best. If you are serious about shooting photos for stock, invest in a DSLR or mirrorless camera and a couple of decent lenses.

Also, if you view your photo at 200%, you will see that it is a bit noisy and that the boarders borders have artifacts.
