Hello! I am an amature photographer and new to posting my images here. This is my first image that has been rekected and I am just wondering what may be specifically wrong with my image that resulted in 'quality issues'. Thank you so much!
In addition to the great advice @Jill_C has already given you, there is some exposure adjustment needed, particularly with the white point.
From a composition point of view, there is a lot of empty space on both sides of the cat. It might be worth trying a longer focal length that compresses the field of view more to eliminate some of that space.
