Some flowers

Look at the photos at 200%. There is camera shake or a halo around the flower petals in both photos.

What was the refusal reason?

First:

Bad framing and blown out whites on the flower. Ghost image:

Out of focus.

Artefacts in the background:

Second: is underexposed as shown with the histogram:

The background contains noise and artefacts.

There is kind of a ghost picture:

The insect has no contrast.

The pictures are not really great ones, and if they would be accepted, they would not sell well.
