I am very new to this. My pics were rejected for technical issue, but i'm not sure what issues.

Photo 1: shadows are under exposed. The photo is poorly cropped.

Photo 2: lacks contrast and needs more depth of field.

In either case, ask yourself, what would a buyer be looking for in the photo database so that my photo would be discovered?

Thank you very much for your input
