quality issues rejection

Hello,

Read this article from Adobe about composition:

Composition - the basics of photography composition

Composition is extremely important!!

The image is out of focus, or the depth of field is too shallow.

You need to check it by zooming in to 100% before posting.

Hey ​@younghee37 

also consider putting your images into Google Search. 

The image of the stairs was taken in Incheon, a walking trail in Seonjeongneung.

The trees in Korea are quite different, especially the crooked trees. You may want to do a search and determine what photos people have uploaded and find a niche that you may want to target. Especially if you go to KyoungJu, there is a forest there rich in history and oddly shaped trees.

There might millions of images of trees… can you reframe the images in a way that tells a story that is different from everyone else?

Cheers

Nate

In addition the severe lens distortion causing leaning verticals:

Hey ​@younghee37

Taking a photo is one thing. We also need to spend time cleaning up our images in Photoshop or something similar.
The branch with the sidewalk is cool. However, there is no point of interest. Whereas by keeping the sidewalk in focus you framed the sidewalk, which could be marketable.

You would need to add a few adjustments like hue/sat, levels, and so on to make the colours pop.
Remember to shoot in RAW. This makes editing significantly easier.

Remove the distractions so our eyes stay focused on the pathway leading into the trees.

There are a few problems but number one is composition. You need to follow known composition rules. Such as the Rule of Thirds. Do not cut off objects, such as on the dinner photo. In the second photo, what is the subject? The branch? You will not find a buyer for that. Ensure that your subjects are in focus. You need to fill in empty space and you need to remove objects the merge into your photo.

Here one example.
