I've only had a reason given for one rejection from the pentax gallery, and that was "distracting elements in frame". I think that's your problem with the first one. It's a stunning blossom, but the background is too busy.
I know that's repeating what everyone else has said, but I did get that criticism from the gallery itself, so I think it's something they're looking for. Two of the four of mine that they accepted are very clean and simple, the other two are dramatic clouds which I didn't think were worthy, but was encouraged to enter and didn't they go and get accepted! :)
This all suggests to me that they're looking for drama or simplicity. I'd test the theory if I had time to take a decent photo, but I've been crazy busy and everything lately has been more or less of a snapshot. Ah well, we all have slumps. Keep at it, think drama and simplicity, and I bet you'll get one in. Good luck!
