  Are  photos  with  mirrored  effects  stock  worthy?  I  have  a  few  -  just  wondering.  Should  i  upload  one  here  for  you  to  see?

edit: changed the title of the thread.

If you mean full-body standing models or products isolated over white with a faint reflection under it in the white: it looks nice on thumbs but for the designer that wants to make a composite, it's more work to re-isolate the bottom of the object.

I have a few images with reflections that are doing fairly well. But they are not done with "effects", the reflections are REAL.

Exactly why I don't understand the use of the reflection. Let the designers do their own. But it also mean that there is probably lots of bloggers or newbie designers, because many of those sell...

  Thanks  for  the  info.  (DT  would  never  get  them  after  the  way  they  treated  me  -  but  that's  another  story).

Good, I have nothing but bad things to say about them.  But for other new contributors DT is one that will push your images to the back of the search if you have a low acceptance rate, as far as I know no one else will do this.  If you want to experiment with new ideas or go out of your comfort zone I wouldn't risk it by submitting them there.

About that flood filter, I know it was soooo two years ago but do the images sell that's the important thing?

You cant fake a REAL reflection. REAL reflections are many times quite complicated. And they don't look tacky in same way as reflections done in software.

Here is mine from two day before, without flood filter...


or this:

That one I don't know.  I stopped uploading there and mainly only deal with IS and SS now, both of which I'm pretty sure don't penalize you for your acceptance rates but IS does keep a record so maybe it affects you there too?
