Will be happy to read, if you point me my quality issues or possible reasons of rejections.

Kind regards!

4973: noise and DOF. A narrow DOF is accepted, but only when it makes sense. You should have taken this picture with all of the image in focus.

 

5016: Here too, the DOF does not make sense, but you also have these colourful reflections/sparkles:

You should also check these highlights, there is clipping here:

5005: This one is simply a bad image, badly composed, and the story does not make much sense. This would be one of the assets that I would delete without regret. Whatever you tried, it did not work. In addition you have a heavy noise level.

The air conditioner. Adobe can be pretty picky when it comes to depth-of-field and an varying degrees sharpness from front to back, so this one in particular is pushing the limits. 😉

DSC_5005 - Copy.JPG Poorly composed, large blurry objects in the foreground 

DSC_4990 - Copy.JPG - also poorly composed and DOF is too shallow. Should have been shot in landscape rather than portrait orientation 

DSC_5016.JPG - same issues & also underexposed
