Why is the picture rejected?

[Arzi]

Hello everyone, Could someone explain it to me why is this pic rejected? The subject matter is in focus and I always thought that's the most important think in the elimination process. I have lots of images like this has already been rejected, Thank You.

B&W images a rarely accepted.  Adobe Stock customers want full color images for commercial use.  If needed, they can grayscale it on their end.

Also, the shadows of the flower are underexposed and it is poorly cropped.

Hi @Arzi ,

In addition to what @Nancy OShea  said, the flowers is not completely sharp. The petals in the background are not sharp.

Best wishes
