My photo was declined for technical issues

I submitted 8 dark and moody style food photography photos and they were all declined "for technical issues".  I know the focus was good and I strongly believe the fact that the photo was dark except for the main subject in the foreground which was well lit, was read by a software program or scanned too quickly by a reviewer.  I even put dark and moody in the title to show it is an intentional style.  Has anyone else had a problem trying to submit this style of food photography?
