Hi All I just joined crated. Recently they emailed me stating that my profile has been upgraded and one photo is curated. Will this new upgraded profile will help selling? I still have very small number of photos. Here is my link: https://crated.com/pramiogarson

Its good that you got them accepted. I wouldnt have bet on it. I see smears and overprosessing in all of them. Like someone said before.
I dont know if it comes from the camera (lack of resolution) or if it is an photoshop induced artefact.
Look for the smears in the out of focus areas, such as on leaves, stones or trunks.
Comments on the snow picture:
light of the lamps burn out, so the time of the day is wrong on the photo, you need to time it so you can expose ambient light at the same step as the street lights. In this case you shot too late, if its an evening photo.
There is a terrible lack of resolution on the green end of the bench, smears.
The snow is not resolved enough, there are no details or shadows where there should be. That comes both from quality of light, lack of contrast and camera resolution. It could maybe have helped if you had falshed the snow from the side or painted with light in a long exposure, so you got some contrasts into the snow.
Agree with your suggestion JPSDK. Thank you.

Continuing the suggestions in this thread I applied for Shutterstock. They Accepted 9 out of 10 (8 HDR photos)  This is my still very small portfolio in Shutterstock. Please give some suggestions: http://www.shutterstock.com/g/pramio+garsonThank you guys.

taking the issues mentioned by the previous 2 comments, i will comment on "over-processing".
the thing is these days with digital cameras, you don't need to guess if you had a good shot or not like in the old days of film.
you can shoot all day or night until you get the correct exposure .
so, this is what you should be doing... your homework to get the best exposure of any scene.
shoot, bracket, and take it home to inspect your best combo of shutterspeed and f stop at the optimum ISO .. usually 100, or 200 depending on your camera.
then this optimum exposure will not require you to do any more post processing except for colour balance and spotting or fringe-removal.
you can then have yourself a nice clean image that is not "over"processed.
don't waste time rescue a bad image due to poor lighting or incorrect exposure. re shoot.
you are not in a situation where it is a once in a lifetime shot like say.. the eclipse of the moon or whatever. always go for the best exposure and the least post processing.
you will then get into a habit of this workflow and see less rejections.
I really need to recalibrate my post processing style again for microstock. I am so get used to process all into HDR. Thanks

... but they're tending to be what I'd call "overprocessed" they look slightly "smeary" in some areas, while being oversharpened where there are edges.
Exposure isn't great on a lot of them IMHO. Rather "flat and grey" lacking mid range contrast.
I'd second the overprocessed issue. It's fine to post process your shots (and I'd recommend it as a general rule), but you need a gentler hand.
Taking grotto2. jpg as an example: Long exposure water has that smooth-ish look, but to me, the water in your shots just doesn't look right, even for a 15 second exposure. Plus there are some transitions from blurry to sharp along a diagonal line of the church stone wall that don't look right-the camera couldn't have created that as the wall wasn't moving and there's a constant plane- and some sharpening halos (crunchy crispy areas around edges) that should not be there. It's a shame you cut off the top of the church spire and there's banding in the sky. All of these things will likely not pass muster with Shutterstock, which is what you want to concentrate on, IMO
Good luck
Maybe there is some shifting of one of the photo. I used HDR to obtain all the detail. I will try to tone down my processing in the future. thank you Jo ann

Unfortunately I don't have budget for buying the new camera , so I need to maximise what I have. Should I post again later without fixing the noise problem? Maybe different reviewer will check the photo. Thank you very much for your input hansenn

Thank you Hansen
I am using Nikon D80.
Can you please tell me which photo that has sharpness problem?
I tried to look at the photos with the noise problem in 100 % but could not find it.
