no way
what is it? Who would want to buy it? For what purpose?

It would be rejected for composition, commercial value, sharpness, whitebalance etc etc etc

Thanks for your valuable critique.

For sharpness, it is compressed version of my photo.

For others, you experienced stockers know better surely.

The stairs are a weird angle with badly uneven lighting due to the composition. Who do you think will use this shot and for what?
The pattern in the other shot is damaged and cracked, it's not lit evenly, You have also centred over where two of the pattern elements join, rather than being centred on a pattern element.
Stock photography isn't a matter of taking "walking around" shots in what you assume to be an arty manner. Concentrate on making shots that have at least some sort of concept, or are of items or places which designers would find useful.

No Free Lunch

Photo sales have better income when they are usable in commercial applications. What would the buyer be selling where this photo would help? What would a buyer use this photo for? Why would a buyer buy this photo? We all need to learn about our buyers and understand why they will trade money for our pictures.

Just imagine a little moment that you are a buyer. Would you buy one of these photos? And for what use?
Customers buy photos because they need them.
If you are not sure just search for images of similar subjects as yours, compare and decide if your own images can compete with.

Other things you should think about:
No one did mention the possible necessity of a property release. Are the stairs shot within a private building?
Furthermore even the geometric pattern could be rejected because of copyright infringements ... Or was this
pattern created by you?

 Hi ., This is great guide on how to select the best photo. I really loved your comparison chart and look of the site. You seem to be expert in this.
