Can someone give me a reason why Adobe would reject this photo.

[Kirk Wester]

They rejected stating Aesthetic or commercial appeal of photo. Ive uploaded and sold this photo on other stock photo sites with no issue. can anyone tell me why

Adobe is so snooty.

Offhand, I'd say the subject is probably not in high demand.  And this is from someone who used to work as tour guide at an undersea aquarium .  Some sea creatures have a face that only a mother could love.   As for photo quality, I think it lacks adequate sharpness around the top.  But that's just my opinion.
