Your detailed reply is very important to me, Abambo, especially because when I inspect the RAWs for the rejected images (actually, any images) it shows more noise than my eye wants to see. Even if a tripod was used. (I am aware about this RAW-preview features, but it does not the fact.)


@Surfy13.

It's a fact that some cameras produce more noise than others.  Knowing what your camera make & model's optimal settings are can go a long way towards helping you take you better pictures.

 

Likewise, knowing how to remove noise from existing images in Lightroom & Photoshop can take your post-editing skills to the next level.

Hope that helps.

This image is correctly rejected.

There are actually two sensor spots and I also believe not only the blacks are missing but also the whites need to be increased. I also think the photo is noisy, not in focus and needs exposure and white balance adjustments.

Something like this:

In addition to the issues noted by @Abambo there is chroma noise in the sky.

You need to clean your sensor. If all pictures have been taken with this camera and sensor, they will all get rejected for this.

You also have a high noise level.

In addition, the histogram shows that your picture is ill exposed. The blacks are missing on your histogram:
