Not my post but I'm curious why post #4491799 had 2 votes for poor quality. Can poor quality refer to the post (tagging and such) and not the art?

Art. That is, what the original artist posted, with text and artist commentaries (and the context within which everything was posted) also contributing factors. But mainly it is the art.

Poor tagging has no bearing on the perceived 'quality' of a post. It does make it harder for approvers to notice, and some approvers might be leery of approving an image of unknown provenance (no artist and source listed), but "believe it has poor quality" means an approver has actually sat down and reviewed the post and thought it was, well, bad. Not just "not up to standards".

Definitely curious what they deem poor in that art, then

The first one is okay-ish.
The girl in the second one has hilariously tiny hands and really weird forearms.

The hands seem like a consistent problem with the artist (unless he just likes really small hands for some reason.)

Could someone tell me what's wrong with these? I'll provide reasons why they could have some value.

post #4541997 - other approved posts have just the same quality
post #4537700 - uploaded it before the actually approved version, even though it's of lower quality and is the Twitter version
post #4540262 and post #4540268 - parent post approved, part of sequence (despite some bad proportion)
post #4540480 and post #4537736 - I honestly can't see what's wrong with this, they look just fine

I’d imagine post #4548349 wasn’t approved for being off topic (I probably should have read the upload rules before I started posting here).

I’m curios, though, how it’s any different from other posts that are "realistic" and "original".
https://danbooru.donmai.us/posts?tags=realistic+original+status%3Aactive
Or posts that are tagged "still_life" and "original" for that matter.
https://danbooru.donmai.us/posts?tags=still_life+original+status%3Aactive
I would think that most of those would also be off topic.

Edit: Formatting and grammer

Original means that one artist created something on their own that has no specific copyright. Even in realistic or still_life art it's okay and not really off-topic. I think the problem with your upload is more about it being way to realistic with a traditional style that turned approvers off. For such niche images it's always better to aim for the unrestricted status because most of the time they're between "not worth being deleted" but also "not really liked by approvers".

It meets all the rules and guidelines, but it's too uninteresting, so no one liked it enough to approve it. It's a bit too expressionless, and doesn't evoke any feelings.

Most of the other posts you linked don't feature humans, so they aren't really comparable. But they have a lot of detail and/or are otherwise appealing. The few with humans tend to have a bit more expression and emotion; still life doesn't need to mean blank or shell shocked.
