This photo was rejected with the reason given as "Over Processed / Bad postprocessing." While I did do a few basic edits, I certainly didn't do anything I'd consider "over-done." Candid feedback is appreciated.

There is a very slight halo around the tail, but that shouldn't have been enough for a rejection. I see a bigger issue with noise/compression in the sky, so if you can fix those two (minor) issues, should be acceptable.

Also, I am limited to 1280px on the longest side... in order to maintain detail in the image, what DPI do you recommend I save them? I've been using 300.

Unless you're printing the image, dpi is irrelevant. Make sure you're saving the jpgs at max quality obviously (which I think you've done here, since the file size is near 1MB). If you're getting issues with noise/banding in blue skies where there is a fine gradation in the hues/shading, trying saving the raw file as a 16-bit tiff first, doing all of your editing, downsizing to 1280, and then converting to a jpg as the final step. Jpgs are obviously a lot more compressed, so starting with that format will make it more likely you'll see that kind of thing (blotchy/banding/visible compression in the sky).
