Rejected due to technical issues

I submitted quite a few images yesterday and about a third of them came back as rejected due to technical issues. Of course there's no explanation of what those issues are. I've attached 3 of them as examples. The ones I attached here have watermarks but the submitted ones did not so before anyone points that out I wanted to clarify that. 

Any thoughts?

    Zoom in to the owl image that you uploaded here at 100% and look at the eyes; they're most definitely not tack sharp. Have you uploaded a down-sized image for us to review? It actually looks somewhat pixelated when I zoom in.

    Hello,

     

    Tack sharp?

     

    I also think the moose is over-sharpened. It won't compensate for soft-focused areas. The head is also important, in this case.

    Basically, I think the focus isn't good. Not good enough for large prints anyway! Small screens - yes!

      Just as a follow up to put a lid on this. I decided to resubmit the photos and only 2 got kicked back this time. The 2 I put up here in this post were both accepted. Thanks to everyone who took the time to respond.

      Thanks for the reply. It shouldn't be a downsized image but I'll check.

       

      Thoughts on the Moose?

      I like the moose image, though I think the focus on his face could have been a bit sharper; I find that a touch of PS Smart Sharpen is sometimes enough. There are black shadows around the edge of the left rack of horns - perhaps a masking error? And the right rack is out of focus.

      Hi @bsinc1962 , I think your owl is not focused. The moose is a very nice photo but it needs to be sharpened and you need to do some noise reduction in the background. I would also remove the unnatural object in the upper right corner.

        Thanks for the reply. The Owl is actually tack sharp. 

        The Moose is also tack sharp and has been run through both Topaz Sharpen and Denoise.

        That means 2/3 were accepted which is very good.  🙂

        Increase magnfication to 250% to see the problems, particularly around the eyes.
