Does Fotolia have the Crestock syndrome:

Rejecting nearly all pictures for "technical" problems and when they then do select a few, it is the ones that non of the other sites wanted....?

I have noticed that very thing today, never had a problem with Fotolia before always had a high acceptance rate. Today batch of 12 had 8 rejected and the ones that were accepted were no better technically than the ones rejected.

In my opinion it is not only technically speaking Druid. I see the ones they took as actually been weaker images than the ones they rejected. Just bad decision making from a esthetic/artistic and business perspective as well.

I started uploading again over the past month. No rejection problems but no boost to my earnings. I'm stopping again, seems pointless supplying a site that keeps selling less and cutting commissions. If they don't change the search back, so my sales come out of this slump, they aren't worth the effort.
