Why rejected?

[oxxipital]

Hello, I posted my first picture and it was rejected. Can anyone give me some tips to improve my future pictures and let me know what you think is wrong with this picture? Thank you!

Hello,

I guess it was rejected for 'technical issues'. The composition is not good. The horizon is dividing the picture in half. Secondly, it looks like you have added filters to it to make it more pink. It's not a good idea for stock. Buyers will want to add their own effect, so it is best to leave it more natural.

Have a read of this. It's a brief guide on image quality:

...and this from Adobe about how to create better photos:
