Some of the photos have been rejected due to "quality issues." Help to determine what exactly?

I know that most likely the photo with the field has too much blur in the foreground and background,  the photo with the lake and the rocks on the foreground, has soft focus on the background [I meant it this way to draw more attention to the rocks on the front plane] but i can understand it . But the photo with Spirit Island is sharp all through, and each photo in high resolution... it's too bad they don't say what exactly is wrong because if it's my editing, I can change that.  My guess, it might be oversaturated, but I don't know for sure...

Lake in mountains landscape nature.jpg - DOF is definitely too shallow here, and even the row of grass that should be in sharp focus is a bit blurry - probably due to the wind.

Lake in mountains landscape nature.jpg - there's a halo along the edge of the mountains and a blownout spot in the lake of the far right.

Underexposed in the shadows. The moderators review thousands of photos per day and simply are not granted the time to provide precise details as to why assets are rejected. Not to mention that many images have more than one issue, which would require even further time to explain.
