pictures rejected for technical problems

hi can you help me understand the technical problems of these pictures ? thanks

Both photos are under exposed. The first photo is not focused good and the fountain is not horizontal. The second has some background noise and the subject is not very well placed.

@ARN5DC4 I'd say the first image is out of focus and the walkway has become the focal point of the image instead of the fountain. The second image is too dark (underexposed) and there is too much bokeh in relation to the lizard... sadly its body is cut off too much. Remember eyes must be in absolute focus and some hint of a catch light or “shine” which can be added in post. Thanks for sharing and keep shooting!

Hi @ARN5DC4 ,

The lizard is also not well focused. You seem to zoom in too close to the subject with too much of a shallow depth of field.
