Photo rejected for technical reasons.

[New Horizon]

Hello. My photos were rejected for technical reasons. I know they are not perfect, but at least I could use some constructive critisism. Could you tell me what is wrong?

1) underexposed shadows, lack of sharp focus, lack of detail in many areas perhaps due to small sensor or processing. Hazy sky with a sensor spot (or maybe it was a bird).

2) Similar problems here. dark shadows, unfocused, lack of detail, dull gray sky

3) Focus is better here, but not perfect; also underexposed

Number 6 has two big problems. The burned out sky ande the purple fringing around the trees.
