Rejected for quality issues

Question

Hello, I recently submitted several photographs to Adobe Stock, but all of them were rejected for quality issues. Since the rejection message does not identify the specific problems, I would appreciate some detailed feedback.

Could you please check whether the main issues are focus, noise, compression artifacts, exposure, white balance, or something else? Some files may have been transferred through a messaging app, so I am also wondering whether compression caused visible quality loss.

I am approaching Adobe Stock as a casual side project, so I would particularly like to understand how to identify photos that are suitable for submission without extensive editing. Thank you for your help.

I believe the issue with the flower photos is that the composition and focus are not sharp enough.
A vast number of flower photos are submitted.
Anything that falls even slightly short of the mark gets rejected.

In the second photo, the brand of the shoes is visible, and there is also text on a sign.
Both of these elements will lead to rejection due to IP issues.
Please remove any such unnecessary details using software like Photoshop before posting.

The third photo has issues with its tilt and composition.
