I'm trying to get approved from Istock and my first submission was rejected with " we did not feel the overall composition of your photography or subject matter is at the minimum level of standard for iStockphoto". They also added "You're welcome to return in 3 days, upload some new samples and we'll re-process your application."

I'm not entering the discussion about how wonderful my images were (pretty pointless), I think that at least they proved to be technically correct.

I'd just like to know what do they mean with this 3 day limit. Do i have to send them my new, (irony on) exceptional (irony off) images in that time frame? What will happen if I couldn't do it? If you can confirm this I think I'd really need some help and advices.

Thanks in advance.

After three days, send them some better images. But to be honest, I was rejected with my initial images in 2004 and learned and waited a year (a little long IMHO) and came back at them and was accepted. It takes a little experience to get it nailed down, but look, listen and learn and you'll get it eventually...

Ale, not sure what you're asking. They said to resubmit new stuff with better subjects/composition in three days. Istock is one of the harder agencies to get into. Maybe take a look at their tutorial and specifically the "Needed Files" section to see what they are, and aren't, looking for subject-wise http://www.istockphoto.com/tutorial_5.0_neededfiles.php

You have to wait 3 days before you can submit again but you can wait longer if you want to. 3 days is the minimum it's not that you have to submit something in 3 days time. I think that's what you were asking.

Yep, this is exactly what I was asking because I'd also prefer to have a better portfolio before trying again.
Thanks.
