Find out why my photos are rejected

Hey guys, can you help me, I would like to know why this image was rejected.

Very little in focus, the background is messy, the sky is blown out, and the shadows underexposed. I get what you're trying to do here, isolating the leaves with sunlight on them, but to do this effectively, you need a much cleaner background. Also, try to imagine how a Buyer would use such an image...

Thank you for your feedback. It's worth a lot. I will take care of my mistakes. 🙂

You could have isolated more, so as to eliminate the milky sky and some branches on the left of the photo. What did you use? A catadioptric?
