...when Shutterstock rejects an entire batch of PHOTOGRAPHS with the reason "Editing--Your illustration has rough edges"?

All have so far been accepted at StockXpert, Fotolia and 123RF (uploaded yesterday, so the others haven't got to them yet).

I appreciate all your suggestions. Was having high hopes for these (especially at SS).

Here's one of them:

The 'rough edges' rejection is just their way of telling you that the editing work has resulted in a look that doesn't look natural. Without seeing a 100% crop I'd imagine that maybe the join from the botle top into the apple is a little too sharp, or it could be the lid looks to obviously cut out and placed.

I like the concept though, I've done some similar one's along this theme.

Ah. Yes, that does sound more reasonable. I used different techiniques on them so they are a bit different in the lining. Used blurring on some and cloning on others.

Any idea how to make it look natural (if such an image ever can look natural)?
