Must be depending on the flow of uploads. More files to review, because some people like to upload on "special" days  and less on the other days?

I did something I've never done at any site before. I re-submitted a photo to SS yesterday. I made a note about why it was rejected, that I checked the white balance and pointed out that the "uneven lighting" was because it was an isolation! Less than 24hrs and it's up for sale. I fully expected that I was wrong and it would be rejected again, and that's that.

Nice to see that explaining the picture does make a difference.

Edit: Not going to quit my day job, or my night job, or my weekend work, but... the photo has sold four times this week. Nice that the second review was acceptable. 

Yes very fast turns, editing etc.  Funny! everything SS does seem to come out on top and good, must be a very great Admin running this.

Compared to some others, who cant even punch their way out of a paper bag.

This was rejected for "lighting or WB?"  I know it is trite but lighting and white balance look fine to me - only place I could add light is to the stems and leaves and that would only detract from the shot!)

Just had a batch rejected in less than 2 hours Seems like you have to tick the illustration check box and select illustrations category for renders now. Something new I guess, never got this rejection reason before.

eh, i can't agree with your last paragraph.Why would any artist  not upload there best work to any of their respective agencies.
Istockphoto is guilty of letting far to many files from the same shoot into the library and perhaps 2 might sell and 5-8 just sit there doing "sweet fanny adam"
I was surprised when i saw the size of SS library and if it continues i see only problems from the buyers perspective in regards of searching the library for the correct image.
