I looked up the specs of your D3400, and it's a 24 mp camera. In other words, the image is 6000x4000pixels in size, and the file size, depending on complexity and mix of colors will be about 3.5 Gb. Unless you set you camera for a smaller resolution, your files will be too big.
For example, my Lumix shoots 4000x3000 (12 mp.) File size is about 5.5 Mb. To upload, I resize to 1024x768 with a file size about 300kb). The website software will resize the image again to suit the page format, but a file much larger than 500kb uses too much bandwidth and storage space. Images should preferably be saved in.jpg format.
Below is a resizing guide I have created for other websites, and have posted on this site before. Download the .pdf file below.

One of the reasons I like this site is because there is no screening. I like to think I can produce photos of reasonable quality. I have submitted to many sites and had fairly good success, but another site I submitted to in the past became increasingly difficult to satisfy.
For example, the resized photo in the MS-Paint instructions would be unacceptable because there is too much dead space around the aircraft. A tighter crop is required. Preferably a 16:9 aspect ratio rather than the standard 4:3 ratio, as shown in the image below, to cut out the excessive foreground and sky. Secondly, there is vignetting in the top corners, ie. darker shading than the rest of the sky. And thirdly, the white cowl on the nose is over-exposed, and yet excessive Photoshopping is not acceptable either. It all makes for a very low acceptance rate.
It's funny, but camera clubs dislike centered images, for the the 'rule of thirds' applies, where you divide the frame in three, horizontally and vertically, and then place the subject on one of the intersections of those lines.
