Hi,

I am in microstock for a little over three years, and produce images for commercial use.  My acceptance rate is good. In an attempt to start with images for editorial use, I made a test upload of a photo to Shutterstock, got a rejection for unacceptable caption, and trying to figure out what I did wrong.

I use Lightroom and I type the 'Title' in the TITLE section, and the 'Caption' in the CAPTION section of the software, using the Format:
"CITY, STATE/COUNTRY MONTH DAY YEAR: [Factual description
of the image content, including who and what the image portrays]".

I would appreciate your advice as to what I might have done wrong.

You only need city, country, not state. Don't use all capitals. Otherwise mine are always accepted just like that.

Following the first rejection, I submitted two more different photos of the same event. One photo at a time at different days.
I used: "CITY, STATE/COUNTRY MONTH DAY YEAR: [Factual description
of the image content, including who and what the image portrays]" format. "STATE" included as it is part of their guidelines.

The first image was accepted. The second was rejected again for unacceptable caption.

Will keep learning and submitting.......
