I too have had this happen when submitting photos of the American Flag. Turned down for this or other reasons. I wait a week or two and resubmit...getting a different critic makes all the difference. Sorry to say, some are biased to this subject!
You resurrected an old topic from 2018 that was correctly answered already. Thus, I have moved this post to a new topic for you.
Non-compliant images typically contain one or more violations that disqualify them from consideration -- i.e. wrong file size, wrong file type, excessively long file name, unwanted text, borders, watermarks, or GPS/time stamps. Non-compliant can also mean a corrupted file or file/keywords that contain offensive or restricted content (profanity, p*rn, violence, etc...).
If you submitted a photo that was rejected for non-compliance, please review the submission policies again to ensure it meets compliance.
Hope that helps.
