so i tried submitting some travel oriented pictures and they said they was not diverse enough.  Can someone take a look at my portfolio and tell me if I have anything worthy of sending in?  I have a few isolations but not sure if they are good enough to submit for a review.


here is a link to my gallery: http://edlemeryphoto.photoshelter.com/gallery/The-Stock/G0000ZYzfEa8DCPg/ [nofollow]

and some individual images:

Thanks for your help.

You've mangled the link to your gallery - correct link is here.

I wouldn't submit any of the individual images you picked out for an application. I can't make any comments on technical quality from such small sizes (we'd need to see the original image), but there aren't any standouts, IMO.

What combination of 3 was rejected before? You'll want to have 3 different types of shot (a portrait, a studio still life and a landscape, for example). Stay away from flowers, sunsets, puppies and kittens unless you have something exceptional. Your gallery has mostly travel images, and some could use a little post processing to make them more "stock-y". Perhaps you could find a friend to model for you to add a different type of image to your application set?

Don't sharpen and be sure to check the image at 100% for sharp focus, absence of noise and artifacts. You can use the iStock critique forum (you'd need to buy credits to be able to post) for additional help.
