Hello, I am sending several travel-themed photos and one of them was rejected even I thought it would be the most suitable due to its large size, sharp and good quality, please let me know why it was rejected because
"Thank you for the opportunity to evaluate your image. Unfortunately, it does not meet our requirements. For this reason we cannot accept this work into our collection.The technical quality of images is usually affected by exposure problems, poor sharpness, excess filters, artifacts or noise. More information about technical requirements: here."
This photo above was of the best quality taken with a camera, is this because of shadow and the contrast? Photo wasn't edited i thought it looks good as it was taken. The two photos below were taken with a phone and with them I was afraid of rejection due to the quality. I don't understand the work acceptance system.
Below are the approved photos

The rejected images has lens flare starting on the left hand side. Dehazing might help, but it's a fairly large patch.
All assets should have been rejected, as they expose major issues. The two last have been accepted by error.
You have sensor generated artefacts in your pictures:
Your third has artefacts like double images:
There is also a halo around this tree and the woods in the background:

There is no contrast in the shadows, the hands are a single block and the cap also lost details. Te water exposes chromatic aberration:
You have here a dark line around the rock-water border:

The first one is too small to properly evaluated but the flare is probably the reason for rej3ctiom.
The second image is quite noisy.
The third image has a strange branch intruding in the left side of the frame.

For future reference, I think you got lucky with the image of the woman on the beach. The horizon line is slanted ever so slightly, and it's a bit on the bluish side throughout. Not deal breakers, apparently, but things to watch for when submitting new assets. A more strict moderator may have taken these issues into account.

The images look as taken with a small sensor camera, like a phone.
Adding some nice processing will make the image fit for social media, and you will earn likes, but you won't get these assets accepted.
The composition is great, so with a correct camera, the images would be better.
