Good day! I kindly ask for your help, what problems do I have with these photos, the reason for rejection is quality issues. I’m just starting to learn, and I would be grateful for any indication of my mistakes. Thank you all very much!

Correct answer Jill_C

The blur and the white halos are both reasons to reject.

The pictures are nice for social media likes, they are not suited for commercial applications. Sorry for that.

1413 is slightly underexposed, the white balance is not correct, and you have had clipping around the snout. This caused artefacts: 

In addition, the fake ODF also caused artefacts:

And there is clipping noise (circle).

7884: Is full of artefacts and noise. Some examples:

8291: Is overprocessed, there are artefacts like here, between the sky and the bridge:

The structure is washed out, like if there was too much noise reduction applied. It is underexposed as shown by the histogram. And the sky is too saturated.

8480: Artefacts in the background:

8483: Artefacts everywhere you look: the village, the sky, the grass, the background hills.

 

Those pictures are not usable for commercial applications. All your pictures are taken with an iPhone, some with fake DOF, all are quite overprocessed, probably also to hide the artefacts due to the small sensor size.

You're welcome. Sure, you need to know what to look at. The pictures look great on your iPhone, but as soon as you are doing pixel peeping at 100% you see the artefacts. And that is, what moderators do.

Hi Vinona - You are a good photographer. However in 7884 the train should eighter be in focus and the background blurred or or the train even more blurred and the background in focus as it is now. I would say that 8291 is ok. 1413 - maybe the moderator think the whole cat should be sharp. Remember to write 'Selective focus' and/or 'Shallow depth of field' in the caption. 8480 is simply not a good image for stock. It's more artistic. 8483 is over saturated. That's my opinion. I think others will chime in with their opinions.

If you look at the assets, they are all rightfully rejected. You need to check the assets at 100%, sometimes even at 200%. The errors here are easy to spot in all assets.
