pre-screening request from Not Pauli

[dlowwa]

I don’t intend to appeal, but I’d like to ask how justified the rejections are. For example, today this photo successfully passed the screening ( https://www.jetphotos.com/photo/11535762 ), and I don’t see much difference compared to the other pictures.
I would also like to ask if you could explain how you do pre-screening. I want to improve my editing skills by "pre-screening" other pictures to better understand what is acceptable and what isn’t. (I don’t intend to post anything to avoid giving incorrect advice; I’m doing this purely for my own learning.)
Do you use any websites or tools for pre-screening? What is your workflow—what steps do you follow, from start to finish? Do you download the pictures and use specific programs? Where and how do you check things like the histogram or equalize settings (e.g., post-processing, dust spots)?
I also want to thank you for your effort and help over the past two years. You’ve been a tremendous help to me, and I really appreciate it.

Your images all have a slight green/cyan tint, and weak contrast (accepted image as well).

'Pre-screening' means I offer advice/my opinion on your images before you upload them to the queue. I've screened ~750,000 images in my time here, so I have a good idea of what might be acceptable or not. There is no special software involved in that, just my eyes.

Equalization/histogram might be used on occasion to confirm something, but 95% of the time a quick look is all I need.

First three ok for me; contrast and distracting foreground on last.

1600px sharpness better? The brightness ist better now right?

Still borderline. Is the original actually sharp? Seems a bit blurry towards the nose.

[dlowwa]

Is this better?

Not really. Much noisier now as well. Don't think the quality is there for 1920pix.

[Not Pauli]

Is this better? I can't understand how you determine the sharpness of a jpg.

Soft, borderline dark.
