AS rejections

(1/17) > >>

Hildegarde:
Typically I take rejections and move on.  My acceptance rate is 95-100% with different agencies.  My acceptance rate from AS was closer to 100% than 95%.  Suddenly, out of the blue I am receiving rejections of images that are accepted EVERYWHERE else.  Bogus mark of technical issues.  Focus at 100% (even at 200%!) and exposure etc are perfect.  Same studio.  Not like suddenly all is changed. No noise.  Shot at 100 ISO on tripod.   

So we all know AS rejection categories are not that specific. 
Not similar subjects.  Not subjects that have tons of images already there but not niche area either.
Not even that not of commercial value.  Of course the images DO sell with other agencies.

Beyond frustrating.  Yes move on, wait til the new reviewer(s) move on. 

It seems like there is a reviewer or three that move between agencies that just reject things because.  A year or so it was SS and then stops just as suddenly.  Just frustrating.

Unamas:
I notice more rejections with Adobe too.

lostintimeline:
i get rejections too but i dont let these annoy me anymore specailly for the amound of money we are paid for our photos
its not like after all you are a photographer for vogue magazine and you earn 1000 dollars lol
anyhow 2 cases
they use an AI like shutterstock and ai in the end of the day is just a dumb machine that sees technical problems in an image everywhere
second .. the reviewers are also contributors and when they review fantastic images they dont wanna compete with the fellow artists, so they press the reject button
even dt with a very good acceptance lately rejecting some of my images but like i said i dont care anymore

fotoroad:
I have around 15 rejections  ,,Quality Issues,,  last month. Never have so many in one months.
It was accepted everywhere from Alamy to SStock and some is already sold.

Hildegarde:
One wonders if the vague category technical issues encourages bogus reviews... not like reviewer has to actually identify why/show knowledge of technical standards.

AI might be better except that/if it does not take into account what is main subject if not in typical place (like ones with copy space to left or right when blurring background with open aperature is nice).

It is just annoying to waste time uploading images -- esp when paid so little -- when an agency goes through these cycles.

Something is not right when one has very high acceptance rate and then suddenly a batch or two are mostly rejected esp if studio conditions same (but NOT similar subjects).
