The rejection reasons can be found both on the rejection email, and on the rejected image page. This one was rejected for

Over Processed / Bad postprocessing
Dirty Scan / CMOS Dust spots
Vignetting not allowed

Overprocessing due to the editing halos visible around the wings, Dirty because of the dust spot, and Vignetting because of the light fall-off in the corners. All of these issues should be fixable with a better edit.
