Rejected because of Quality Issues. What the exact reason?

[Galina Perevozova]

Hi! Could you help me with my problem? My photos were rejected because of Quality Issues (common issues that can impact the technical quality of images include exposure issues, soft focus, excessive filtering or artifacts/noise). I don't understand what exactly is wrong with these photos.

Somebody? Is my case too difficult?

Hello,

Did you compress the file before submitting?

Your examples look a tad 'blocky' when enlarged 100% or more.

Some JPEG compression artifacts maybe?

Hi! Thanks for your answer.

No, I did not compress files, I only saved files in PS to JPEG with maximum quality and "Standart" format options.
