Can someone please tell me why these were rejected for quality issues?

I am new to uploading stock photos. I followed the guidelines. 

I'm confused as to where I went wrong.

    Horse: underexposed, monochrome, poorly cropped slanted horizontal lines, and a model release and IP release are needed.
    Cardinal: Underexposed, needs sharpening, should use a 2x3 format,  and poorly cropped. 

    Flowers: Underexposed and noise.

    Always check your histogram. Complete loss of detail in the shadows.
