Photos rejected for technical reasons

1) focus is not uniformly sharp and there's a blownout hotspot. I suspect that this would have been rejected as an IP violation if it didn't have technical issues, because it is someone's artwork and would have needed a property release.

2) underexposed shadows; not uniformly sharply focused; spots on the table top

3) the white edges of the pot seem to be caused by an improperly applied lightening brush 

4) very soft focus and white balance issue (too blue)

5) depth of field is too shallow and right leaf is cropped off

Remaining images all have focus issues.
