Thanks for the input. Some of the images got accepted elsewhere (including the sand dunes), so it was reasonable to assume they would have a chance at Shutterstock. I can clearly see the noise in the sky, and when I selected the images I was looking at content rather than technical quality. Now that I know the standard of quality Shutterstock is looking for, I will be able to get better images in the future.

I just submitted to shutterstock and got rejected, and I'd love to get some feedback on my images and how I might be able to correct them as well as how to avoid the same problems in the future.

This image was rejected for being too noisy:


I have a Canon EOS 60D. When the photo was taken it was just past sunset, and my ISO was only at 400. I don't see how I could have gotten that image any cleaner (unless I wanted to blur the water with a longer shutter speed). Up until now I would have considered that an acceptable level of noise.

This one was rejected for being out of focus:


This one I am a little perplexed about. Yes the image could technically be sharper, but pretty much any image I take with my camera isn't going to get much sharper than this at 100%. Or I could be completely wrong and doing something wrong, I'm open to that possibility.

Here's the rest of the photos I submitted (2 out of 10 would have been accepted, the star trails and the blue silhouetted mountain): http://adobe.ly/1xmFbD8

Any feedback on how I could correct these images or what I need to do in the future is greatly appreciated!
