Photo rejected due to quality issue - your take?

[John315713866f38]

I don't mind getting images rejected but sometimes lately I feel that Adobe has gone too far. 

These two pictures, accepted on all other sites (alamy included) were rejected. The drone image is 12MP, but it is really hit or miss on adobe with those lately. The street picture i don't understand, it is to illustrate the village of St-Guilhem-le-Désert.

Are those pictures really bad or is it the adobe as of late that is trolling me? Comfort me (or not) that it just is adobe messing with me, or give me some constructive feedback if you see flaws!

Now that I look more closely, the street picture has some flaws, some focus issues perhaps. The drone shot though I still don't understand

The bottom left-hand corner may be the issue. Kind of noisy in comparison to the other corners.

Ah perhaps. That won't be savable then without cropping too much of the village in itself...

I do see a tiny bit of chromatic aberration here, and the blurry bird should probably be removed. But you're right in that quality-related rejections are often random and unjustified these days...
