More rejection news

Greetings...I am a bit confused as some photos that I think will be rejected--are accepted and some that I really think are great--are rejected due to technical issues.  I have attached 3 rejections below.  Any feedback (especially about the guitar photo)  would help me out.   Thank you!

Sorry PhotoTension but I am in complete agreement with the moderation team on these. You have significant quality issues most notably impacted by poor lighting. The first two appear to have been shot with direct flash and the focus is a bit soft. The lobsters look very heavily saturated. I recommend you look into using softer, more diffused light, work on your post processing and keep trying. There is nothing that can be done with these 3 images to reverse the results.

 

I wish you the best of luck with your future submissions.

Thanks very much, Mat

I am still submitting photos so I'm sure I will eventually 'get it'.

Cheers

PS I really enjoyed your webinar last week.
