Hello, I am new to shutterstock and I submitted my first batch today.
Can you help me understand why on a first example (I got this message) :
Composition--Limited commercial value due to framing, cropping, and/or composition.
Do you know what I could do to make it better?

First, the sky is nice, but the dark shrubs in the foreground take away from the image. If someone wants palm trees, they generally want most/all of the tree showing.
Second, although not the reject reason, SS does not like most silhouette shots and usually rejects them. As a rule, SS likes bright, colorful images--the designer can always make a silhouette from these, but he can't make bright and colorful from a silhouette.
If you were trying for a sunset shot, there are thousands of them already and yours must be even better.
