Rejected Photos Quality Issues

Can anyone tell me why these photos are considered not up to thier quality. None of them are AI genertated none have the so called noise they claim. All these photos are done naturally no artifical lighting or anything in that nature.

Adobe expects skillful editing of images before submission. Rarely are images going to be acceptable straight out of camera, particularly if you're shooting in RAW, which is highly recommended.

Lacks proper lighting, color balance, focus, framing and composition.

Have you enrolled in any photography courses yet?

All of my photos are of natural lighting color balance. I dont like edited photos to me they are unnatural. The waterfall one I can somewhat understand but the others are a temp to make them seem like they are being seen from a persons eye not having them be over lighted, over color balanced, or over anything to make it seem unnatural.

Squirrel 1.JPG - when zoomed in, the squirrel is not in sharp focus.

Waterfall 2.JPG - underexposed and the WB is too blue.

Viney Tree 2.JPG - not in sharp focus

Waterfall1: to dark, especially in the shadows(cloud). White balance and noise/artefacts (arrow and cloud).

The Squirrel 5 lacks contrast and composition is weak, the trees have a greenish cast. I think Squirrl 2 and 1 is a chipmunk and both should be tighter shots of the animal. The waterfalls are underexposed.
