20541206, 31906164, 31906192, 19657534 (try and light up the shadows on the amphitheater part, remove the person on the 1st row as well)

add an editorial (only if you have credentials), wasn't blown away with any of the ones you have online, any other agency/site we can look? (if nothing else perhaps 20617822)

do you have more illustrations?

overall you have a small portfolio, if you really want to try now, don't be scared of sending many models pictures isolated (black or white just make sure its pure white/black), I guess you can get in with people quite easily looking at some new contributors

that is more information than I expected, thanks a lot  ;)
There is only one thing, where Im not sure what you exactly mean..
"don't be scared of sending many models pictures isolated (black or white just make sure its pure white/black), I guess you can get in with people quite easily looking at some new contributors"

Should I isolate my photos with models for example like this..?

31906164 (its not pure black but actually I believe it will fly once you have nice dramatic lighting and it pops so not being pure black doesn't really matter, if it was pure black would fly much easier again it isn't that relevant, this picture shows you can manage strobe lighting and add your view as well even if a simple portrait)

31906192 (it will fly, if you don't have other subjects beside the ones I pointed send 4 or 5 of the same type)

you might include an outdoor picture as well (32408668) the aspect ratio isn't the best for my taste but that won't be a reason for rejection

You have distracting objects in your photos, like weed in front of the girl, leafs, etc. Shutterstock doesnt like that. Also you have a lot of uneven lighting going on and hard light and hard shadows. Shutterstock doesnt like that either. Your images need to be even lit, no shadows, deep saturated colors, and no distracting objects ruining the composition. Also dont frame too tight, and make sure focus runs from front to back. You are better off posting your best 10 images on Shutterstock and get pin point advice.

Good luck.

Congrats, now you'll have to upload at least 2k HCV files to see some descent sales.

Ditto what Fritz said.  It's definitely getting harder to make any money from microstock, for me anyway.
