Hi all,

 

I'm a new contributor here. Some of my photos were rejected for technical issues and I don't understand why. 

I attach them below:

 

 

Thanks for helping out! I highly appreciate it.

In addition: the main subject is shadowy here...

 

The baby in the first picture also looks kind of soft, to soft in my eyes. The baby's eyes are not sharp.

 

And btw: the Canon WB is quite good. I keep that one on automatic and need only to intervene when there are mixed light sources. You need to shoot raw, however, in case you need to change that. I would anyhow shoot raw as the possibilities to correct the image after the shoot are many times better like jpeg.

The Canon Auto WB is very good. I also keep it on that.

Cute baby.  In addition to what's been said already,  there's a distracting weed in your subject.  Insufficient contrast. Baby's skin tone looks drab, like putty rather than a natural flesh tone.  And finally, baby's left arm blemish should be removed with Photoshop's Spot Healing brush.

Your photos are very blue, so white balance - colour temperature is a problem here. You have to get rid of the blue cast - esp with the baby on the grass.
