Rejected Photos, help critique

[Long6354]

Hello, 

Two of my photos just got rejected due to Technicle issues. I mainly shot landscape, would love to get a 2nd opinion on what's needed normally for adobe standards.

Is this too much green? Etc, any tips helps. Cheers. just starting out.

The first image does seem to be a bit over-saturated, but the main technical issue is the shallow depth of field which has rendered most of the image out of focus.

The second image is quite noisy, seems to have a leaning horizon, and has a big smudge in the upper right corner of the sky. It's also not sharply focused.

Ahh i see for the the first one now, thanks, the sky actually looks too awful now that you pointed it out. 
the 2nd photo: ensure the horizon is horizontal, I do belive the smudge is just a cloud, but will remove next time. 

thanks fro the tips.
