hahahaha...only someone of Yuri's status could get an image like this approved.  I'd definitely get rejected for blown highlights, uneven lighting and lens flare.     Whenever I have a lens flare from now on I'll just add a note to the reviewer that the "cinematic" flare was intentional.  Think they'll buy it???  lol

I think pixel peeping is a little over rated sometimes. Its a nice shot, clear message, good mood. Why not accept it? Is it possible to pull off this effect in photoshop? It was obviously done on purpose. I don't see why a site should accept a technically perfect crap image over one that is flawed on purpose, but has good sales potential. Why not let people be creative? Would the buyers complain? 

Matter of fact: I would be willing to trade 100 of my technically perfect crap images for that one.

Just my view.

Right, I'm sure he would have much easier chance to get it accepted than you or I
