Rejected pictures

[Guest]

Hello, it is my first time I am using the Adobe Stock (and in general first time working with any stock) and my pictures were rejected due to technical reasons (no details). Could you tell me why so I could improve? 

Thank you in advance!

Here are the pictures, I have reduced the size so they could be uploaded. Really worked hard on those so your feedback and advice would be much appreciated!

Post originals. Shrinking is useless for advice.

1. Blown out highlights in upper right.

2. Brown haze at border between sky and buildings/trees. Looks like a failed attempt at sky post-processing, perhaps to increase blue saturation. Also sensor dirt in sky.

3.Crooked horizon, green chroma around sun, no detail in shadows.

I suspect the full-size versions of these will exbitit the same problems and possibly more, but these were probably sufficient for rejections based on technical reasons. All are apparent without even enlarging the attachments.

Thank you! It was very helpful!

We can critique images best when the shown image here is near to the original in size and compression. This is, because sometimes the errors are fine details. Here, however, I think that @davidre has made quite a good analysis. I have nothing to add, except this:
