Please, help me understand why this picture was rejected for "quality issues"

Perhaps composition could be improved a bit, try to get more of a diagonal line. I think it can make a stronger image.

Bear in mind that with drone shots as with smartphone cameras, the quality fails when enlarged. That could be the case here.

What drone did you use? It’s not possible to asses the focusing on the attachment. 

Was it rejected for technical reasons? It’s a great shot and has different points of interest for clients looking shots of rural America.

Did you shoot in raw format? Have you tried Topaz Labs tools? It’s a must have for stock shooters. If you don’t have it, don’t give up on the shot yet. DM, and we can try sharpening (if you shot it raw)

Let me know!

What is this supposed to be?  Crop circles?

I am not sure what I could use this for commercially.   

The image is too small to view the reason for rejection.

When I zoom in, the focus seems to be rather soft.
