Hi Elena,
Many people pointed out the same problem, yet, some of them keep saying that Fotolia's rejections are not insane. I think your rank at FT tells us clearly that something is wrong there,  but what....that's a hard question.

Would you be willing to post your most recent rejected photo here?  I'm curious to see it.  Looking at your portfolio I am surprised to learn that you have such a high ratio of rejections.  I get photo's rejected all the time and often they leave me scratching my head.  Some I still fight for but others when I look at them objectively I realize that they could have been better. 

Plus, as mentioned in the post above clearly there are different reviewers with a different set of criteria.  I don't believe it's a conflict of interest as was applied, just a matter of taste as we all know the process is very subjective.

FT is weird. Their 'quality' rejection means 'we don't think this image will sell'.

 Some days everything is approved, somedays nothing is approved. There is no pattern that I can see, except maybe a reviewer that is bipolar. I recently started uploading videos, and got a new rejection- "none conformity" ( spelled that way!) The rejection goes on to talk about added type in the video ( there is none) and other things that have nothing to do with what is uploaded. In the past, FT has sold well for my print, but even that is slowing down.
Great portfolio, by the way. They should give you a free pass, you've earned it.
Keep us posted on what Chad says, which I predict will have to do with the vast numbers of files they get, how the reviewers have to make judgements, blah blah blah.

Elena did you hear back about this?
