I´m extremely mad with this site "crestock"!
I now that all sites reject and i now that no one like to see is work rejected but is a part of this game!
What make me mad is the fact that this last rejections only occurs in crestock! I upload a batch of 12 images for all the big 6 and they all are approved (istock include that i consider that is the more difficult to pass). If this 6 think that they are good enough why did crestock don accept any? And what make me ever hungry is that is the site were we received only 0,25$ (why did i even upload there if they pay so bad???)   
But crestock rejected all for contrast and focus!!

I also nows that my photos are not the best and i have a lot to learn but...
Dam i´m hungry! Because i´m stupid enough to upload there!!!!

You are totally there 

Like i said i now that the photos are not perfect. But they are not so easy to make. I must hung my self about 30 meters from the floor in several waterfall with the camera wrap with plastic bags because the water. wall in paths that not even the sheep walk, swing in frozen rivers with my camera on the back and pass dark tunnels to get there!! 

I didn't want to start this thread only because I promised my self I won't complain because of rejections anymore. But thank you for starting this thread. Rejections type: "Out of focus" are most often rejections I get there. I don't know what they expect? Maybe they expect "vector photography", or maybe they expect that we all have 30Mpix cameras??
Maybe their reviewers inspect our photos at 1000%. In that case everything must be out of focus. I really don't have a clue.
So I decided not to upload there anymore. I did that once, in spring, but after one month I started again. This time I really decided to stop. I will keep my portfolio of barely 31 images there (of more than 200 uploaded) just to keep my user name reserved. But I won't loose my time uploading there until they start to spit more money...for example until they get into first three earners (if they ever do). Personally, I think they have to high opinion of them selves. They will maybe succeed in their desire to have "the most quality images on internet", but also, they could fail. For now, when I get 21 rejections of 22 uploaded files, the only feeling I have is that they want to prove me that my work is miserable and not good enough for them. I know they probably don't want me to think that, but that is the feeling I get after mass rejections I get from them.

p.s.: When I just remember in the beginning, when I tried to correct my photos after rejections from them and to upload again in hope they will be accepted. What a fool I am 

Josh thank you for the reply. But if I get 21 rejections of 22 submitted photos, and it didn't happen only once, plus those files are accepted on other sites, than you should really consider employing some economist who will maybe take a look from another point of view (not only from photographic point of view). I mean, you also should have enough satisfied contributors to satisfy needs of your buyers. You can take a look and see that I have at least 2-3 referrals on every site. But on Crestock I have only one, because when I refer my friends I tell them which site is fine and which is not. And I bet I am not the only one.
You must know that most of us use automatic focus in our cameras. So, I don't know how could I really improve it unless I use my hand and my eye to focus manually (and who says it will be better). Something is really weird with your "out of focus" rejections. It's impossible that other reviewers in other sites don't know what is clear, crisp image.

I am sure there are so many unsatisfied contributors of Crestock and I am sure you don't want this wave to spread too much.

I'm just starting in all this but if all other sites accept my pictures and Crestock does not, they should really look into their criteria. Out of more than 20 pictures, they only approved two of them. If their criteria is this much different than all the other sites, something must be wrong either with all the other sites, or Crestock. The answer here is obvious.

Welcome to the world of Crestock

As someone who has NOT contributed to Crestock ... thanks for the headsup.   

Welcome to the insane world of the crestock rejections!
I start this topic because they reject 12 of my pictures that all the other 6 accept and have already sales! From this 12 i add one that i now from the beginning that have some problems with light and this one and some sites rejected and i agree. but 12??

Another portion of idiotic rejections. 

Miracle. Crestock is still alive.

crestock is around 1% of income for most people.  therefore it should be 1% of your stress. when it is 1% who cares what they accept?

IMO if you have spare bandwidth then upload, click submit and move on, dont bother looking at what got accepted, time vs income, 1% is in and out the site in a minute or two

Why are people accepting such a low commission?  I stopped uploading months ago and they wont get any more from me until they raise the $0.25 commission.  That is far too low when the other sites pay $0.30-0.38.  If we all stopped uploading, they might give us a raise, like fotolia did.
