Why are certain images rejected? Can't figure out why!

A few days ago I uploaded 12 new photos to my portfolio: they were a series of photos related to work in the countryside with a bulldozer.
They have all been rejected due to "quality issues".
WHICH problems they had were not specified, so it is impossible to understand why they were rejected and possibly correct them.
They look very good to me!
If the reason is the "presence of blur" for example, the "blurred" present is WANTED!
This is earthmoving whereby the earth that falls from the bucket is PURPOSELY MOVED.
If that's not the problem, WHICH IS?
You don't help at all like that!

I am attaching two sample photos.

In think focus is the problem. The subjects are not real crisp.

Thanks to all for the interventions!
I'll go check my photos better.

1) Live action photos require a very fast shutter speed.  Too much motion blur.

2) Tree branches in foreground are not fully focussed.

1. As I wrote the motion blur is intended to show the earth falling from the bucket.

2. The subject is not the branches in the foreground which do not need to be in focus, but the machine in action.

And in any case it should be the people who reject the photos to explain why they were rejected!
You shouldn't need to waste a lot of time looking for a cause that you may not see!
And scrambling to find one!
I don't like this system!

Reviwers' decisions are final.  You asked for feedback and we gave you our honest critique. 

1. Equipment (not dirt) has too much motion blur.

2. Foreground trees are an integral part of the scene thus must be in focus.  Otherwise, crop them out.
