Your photos have visible noise or grain, please use your camera's lowest ISO rating.
Your photos show camera shake, please use a faster shutter speed.
Your photos are not in focus or focus is not where we think it should be.
Your photos with only one or two visible firemen or looters would have greater value as RF, please supply signed model releases.
You have submitted too many photos of the same subject.
Camera phones are not acceptable for commercial photography.
The white balance in your photos may be wrong, giving a visible colour cast.
Your photos have low commercial value.

We regret that for the above reasons we are not able to accept your work. You may resubmit when these errors are corrected.

Wow stunning images!! I saw a lot of video footage, but these images really show what a nightmare it was, especially for the emergency services.

Really brave photographer too, apart from when he left one of his fellow togs to the mercy of the rioters, but like he said, if he stayed then it just meant he would be next.

Resourceful guy, great stuff. Goes to show how technology has moved on. Those cellphone pics are of better quality than much of the war photography shot on 35mm back in the day.
