Rejected photos

Any advice on why these cheetah photos were rejected?  Some suggestion that I used AI which I did not.  I had previously posted three of them on Instagram so not sure if that rules them out?

we need to see the original photos to able to evaluate. Theses are too small.

Here you go with the original photos.  Thank you

A lot of burned out highlights in general. Check your histogram. They seem be grainy and over-processed. Just curious, what camera did you use?

I ask because the initial uploads were verticals but the "originals" are square. Why the crop?

IMG_7924.JPG - this one has a blownout spot on the front leg; you'd perhaps have to use clone stamp to repair that area.

IMG_8074.JPG - cropped too close, and square crop is an odd choice 

The others are well exposed and composed, though I see a bit of chroma noise in the backgrounds.

What @RALPH_L said, but no, postisng your images to Instagram would not make them ineligible.

You can use your pictures as you wish. Adobe does not claim exclusive use. 

Post the original pictures as submitted here, with the exact header of the refusal. We will look into them and see what may have cought the moderator's eye.
