Photo rejection

[Kagiso270207740uqu]

I have a few photos that have been rejected and seeing as it is my first time using adobe stock, I wanted to get your feedback on what I can change and do better with my photography and editing. 

Please let mw know what is wrong with my images. Thank you.

The cat is poorly cropped. There are too many distracting objects. Worse is the shadows are underexposed. The black area under the chin is pure black and has no details.

The sky reflection is not in focus. The clouds have a magenta tint.

The third photo is poorly cropped. Birds need to be removed and the shadows are underexposed.

Your photos I'm afraid are not composed very well It also looks like you have taken these photos with a smartphone.

The quality is not so good when you enlarge/zoom in.
