photos rejected

Hello,

For the mountain photos, you could add more punch to them. Currently, they are rather drab and washed out!

And also, in your example, you have banding in the sky- did you notice that? In both photos!

The files aren't underexposed:

the sky is rather overexposed in the 2nd photo.

Teaching fundamental photography technique goes beyond the scope of this web forum but there are online courses available where you can learn the basics.

Karnischer_2022-1420.jpg - the mountains and sky are quite underexposed; you could easily solve this by using the Graduated Filter in Lightroom.

Karnischer_2022-1415.jpg - same here, and the cow is underexposed

IMG_4636.jpg - depth of field is too shallow; the headdress is out of focus
