Is that for the "artistic" Instagram filters (which I personally don't find really artistic) or for photojournalism?

Agree. Why do they - not just DT, but every site except Photocase - reject everything slighly different from normal looking, microstock-style stuff and then they look for mobile pictures?

Couldn't they just accept something more "creative" even (or especially) if done with a proper camera, instead of looking for pictures made with technically inferior equipment, "enhanced" with funny filters?

isn't it odd that they let us use our "real" cameras and then just grunge them in PS? if these pics are supposed to represent mobile photography they are misleading.
