Quality issues

First time on forum... Not sure why these two photos rejected for quality issues. Shot with 47mb Leica Q2 RAW with fixed focal lens 28mm (selective focus deliberate on the stones).  A few others shot same day with same camera accepted.  Overprocessing in LR?  Any feedback is welcome.  Would like to resubmit if I can figure out what to change...

Hello,

For your 'caboose' photo, the wire above the carriage should be removed. I think there are some minor exposure issues as well. Shadow areas could be lightened a bit.

Good ideas, thanks. I fixed both and will resubmit and see.

The second photo may have brought problems because of the Logo for the Brooklyn City RailRoad or the Club Plaque on the side.

Makes sense, thanks!

I think the first image could have been composed better to omit the gravel and sidewalk in the foreground. Perhaps the DOF is too limited. I don't see anything wrong with the train - sharp and properly exposed. This is probably an unjustified rejection which is happening all too often these days.

OK, thanks for the feedback.  Much appreciated!
