Rejection due to wrong editorial caption

(1/2) > >>

PelleBo:
Hi
Is there anyone else who noticed a changed review of editorial images? I never used to get rejections with my editorial images. Now all most every image is rejected due to wrong editorial caption. It always say that the caption must be a accurate description of what´s going on in the image and must answer the usual questions Who, What, Were, When, Way and (How).
I keep trying to correct the images and upload them again. I DO describe the scene in the image but often get them in return once more........frustrating.

How do you write the caption to your editorial images? Long detailed caption? Or do you keep it very short? What about the title?

Annoying  >:( :( :-\

Show an example of what gets rejected.

The same captions I use for SS are accepted by BS.

PelleBo:
SS has a limit of 200 character so you really have to keep it short. At SS all my editorials get accepted but not Bigstock. The only difference is that I write a whole lot more at Bigstock.

For example, an image of Liberty Bridge in Budapest:https://www.shutterstock.com/image-photo/steel-bridge-budapest-hungary-september-27-730888210

Accepted at SS but rejected by Bigstock. This is a very short caption. Uploaded to Bigstock I was more precise with more details but still rejected a second time.

Pauws99:
I've always done the same for both....the last lot I submitted was couple of weeks ago all went through and my descriptions were pretty concise,

PhotoBomb:
Your description:
Steel bridge Budapest, Hungary - September 27, 2017: Liberty bridge in Budapest, people in cars waiting in line due to traffic lights. Tram tracks and glimpse of the Gellert building in the background

I'm surprised SS accepted that description - it's not to format. The phrase 'Steel Bridge' in front of the destination is wrong:

This is the correct format: and reworded a bit. (although they are pretty lax on the 'all caps' part.)
BUDAPEST, HUNGARY - SEPTEMBER 27, 2017: Liberty Bridge in Budapest. Traffic on the iconic bridge with a glimpse of the Gellert building and city skyline in the background.
