In the meantime, I've been up to learning how to post process images,
Is this any better? Any chance of it being accepted?

Soft/blurry, dark, noisy. No chance, sorry.

All have severe editing halos and poor crops/centering, and the last two very poor contrast. No chance

Hi, not a screener but I can still see very strong editing halos

Thanks, one of the modules I was using resulted in a lot of halos and I didn't notice.
Do you think this is any better?

No. Still severely overprocessed.

How about now? I tried going basic with just a few tweaks to exposure, saturation, and contrast

Improved. Editing halos mostly gone. Soft, vignetting and very weak contrast however.

Thank you. I tried to correct the contrast and softness here, thoughts on this?

Editing halos visible again, though not as strong as on the first image. Will also eventually need a tighter crop/better centering.
