Okay, these are the images that were rejected. I am aware that you previously advised me to "avoid square format," but these were the photos which I submitted when I was a complete novice.



Teeth, eyes and ears need fixing, some weird artifacts showing up here and there, some haloing around the tie (probably the result of upscaling). The image of the man in the middle of the street. He seems separated from the background, as if he was composited. Seems like he should be casting a shadow somewhere to make him more a part of the scene. In general, if your goal is photorealism, these subjects look more like cardboard cutouts rather than flesh and blood people.
