It's my first time uploading some photos to Adobe and I've had only two rejected out of many uploads. 

It says Quality issue but I'm not sure what the mistake I made was. Some feedback from experienced peeps would really help me out. 

To me there is no quality issue with the photos but please let me know if you see any glaring issues.

All the photos are 24mb 5000x4000 pixels (ish)

I looked at the first three photos. Light is a problem. Underexposed shadows, Overexposed highlights and color temperature. In the second photo, I also see a sensor spot.

Thanks for looking Ralph!

I get the sensor spot being unacceptable. Missed that one.

But with the other photos. I take it they cannot have any overexposure or underexposure whatsoever? Should I raise the shadows in the dark areas even when they look a bit unrealistic?

There should be some detail in the shadow areas.
