Why are certain images rejected? Can't figure out why!

A few days ago I uploaded 12 new photos to my portfolio: they were a series of photos related to work in the countryside with a bulldozer.
They have all been rejected due to "quality issues".
WHICH problems they had were not specified, so it is impossible to understand why they were rejected and possibly correct them.
They look very good to me!
If the reason is the "presence of blur" for example, the "blurred" present is WANTED!
This is earthmoving whereby the earth that falls from the bucket is PURPOSELY MOVED.
If that's not the problem, WHICH IS?
You don't help at all like that!

I am attaching two sample photos.

In think focus is the problem. The subjects are not real crisp.

1) Live action photos require a very fast shutter speed.  Too much motion blur.

2) Tree branches in foreground are not fully focussed.

1. As I wrote the motion blur is intended to show the earth falling from the bucket.

2. The subject is not the branches in the foreground which do not need to be in focus, but the machine in action.

And in any case it should be the people who reject the photos to explain why they were rejected!
You shouldn't need to waste a lot of time looking for a cause that you may not see!
And scrambling to find one!
I don't like this system!

Reviwers' decisions are final.  You asked for feedback and we gave you our honest critique. 

1. Equipment (not dirt) has too much motion blur.

2. Foreground trees are an integral part of the scene thus must be in focus.  Otherwise, crop them out.

Thank you.
Sorry, I wasn't criticizing your comment, but I feel that when a photo is rejected a specific reason should be given for this.
And don't leave it in doubt that you don't understand why.

  • Adobe Stock receives thousands of submissions every week.  The wait queue is backlogged with other contributor's submissions. 
  • Reviewers DO NOT have time to give detailed feedback for every rejection.  That's not their job.  Their job is to evaluate assets as quickly as possible.
  • It's your job to figure out what went wrong and correct it if you can, or not. 
  • Hopefully @RALPH_L and I have given you the feedback you need to make better choices in the future.

Moderators will reject based on the first issue they see, and there could be multiple issues. They simply don't have time to enumerate every issue in the image. The assumption is that we're experienced and competent photographers and that we can properly assess our own images.

Moderation is done to protect customers from bad assets, not to explain you your errors. The system is very effective and fast, as the moderator simply refuses on the first error they see and they give you a predefined reason. It's your task to find the error.

 

In the case of the bulldozer I would think that there could be at least three reasons:

  • out of focus. The bulldowzer is not as sharp as it should, either because it's moving or because you did not correctly focus.
  • exposure. The bucket and some other parts are overexposed. 
  • noise: there is a slight amount of noise in the picture.

A fourth reason would be IP, because of the penguin on the machine.

1) It may be hard, but what you intended is not relevant. What is relevant is what the moderator thinks what the picture represents and if it is good enough, to be added to the database. I doubt that the falling mud is the trouble in this picture.

2) The machine is not in focus. The exposure is not good. You have missing whites in your picture, and the overall picture is missing contrast.
