Need Help. Why My Image Was Rejected?

These are phone images, taken with fake DOF. The background is somewhat noisy, and I suppose that the in-camera processing has introduced these stange colour stripes. Your framing is bad, even considering that you may have intended to leave some negative space. the lightning is not optimal, and the shadow created by the stores does not add to the image quality.

There's an open space on the right, so you should take the photo with composition in mind.

Also, the shadow of the blinds is falling on the subject, so unless it's intended as art, it's better to have no shadow.

Reshoot it.

Hello,

I think the composition isn't that good. By having the shadows from the blinds in the window? This has created not a nice pattern. What are you trying to show—the onions or something else? 

20220312_094640.jpg - The lighting has created some blownout hot spots, and makes for a rather strange background.

20220312_094537.jpg - DOF is too shallow resulting in most of the image being out of focuse.
