Sorry to start another "Are you allowed" thread, and by no means am I criticizing the photographer/illustrator. But I would like to know if this is normally allowed, as I don't see it often. In fact I think this is the first time I've seen it.
Here is the image in question. http://www.bigstockphoto.com/photo/view/3518746

Boy, some sites will accept anything, won't they.

You can write your complaints here ;D
Apparently there is a market for this. It has 1 download.

I've seen a lot worse.

holy crap ! this , and all the rejections i get from that reviewer who calls my submissions SNAPSHOTS :o :o :o
this has to be either the reviewer's own art, or one of the reviewer's intimate friends. :o

I think it would make a clever t-shirt. I wonder if it was made originally for Zazzle or Cafe Press.

Or maybe the reviewer didn't understand English ...
Or had a little too much to drink, or smoked some bad weed that day ::)

Wow, that's funny.. Well it seems ok to me other than the grammer is incorrect.. should be: I am "A" father. I think it is a funny concept, guess the reviewer did too..

In Norway the word in question is on par with crap. Crap might even be worse. So either the reviewer or the creater could be from somewhere where the words have a lesser meaning than in the States or Canada.

If it weren't so badly done. I think you could illustrate this style well. This isn't, imo.

Hi Dragon-Fang,
No you didn't criticize the artist but that didn't stop it from happening. To answer your question it depends on the word and the market very vague but still doable especially in certain models. I would think that Micro would have the most trouble as I feel they are the most limiting because of their legal matters being so world wide and diverse. Just my opinion.
Best,
AVAVA

Well I got a laugh from it. I even looked at his/her portfolio hoping to see similar stuff, but this was a one-off.

As far as your example goes, to each his own... I guess :)
I did submit an image once of profane graffiti and it was rejected everywhere except Bigstock. I consider them to be the most liberal of all the sites.
Rejection reasons from other sites: not suitable as stock, too vulgar (or something like that from more than one) and then of course your regular noise, lighting, whatever...

You are right. I must say I reacted more on the missing "a", than on the swear word. But then, in the northern half of our country the police will just laugh when they are called a "horse dick".

It would make a funny t-shirt. But any text on an image restricts its usage and sorta defies the whole "stock" ideal. Lucky in this case the text is probably a layer which can be removed in Illustrator, but why make the purchaser go through the trouble?

Your most liberal notation made me laugh! BigStock is the most Conservative of all the micro sites! Check out the nudes and use a bunch of "dirty" key words with that category and you will quickly see which sites are liberal in fact in my oppionion some are pure porn! Example: a strand of pearls strung between a woman's legs full nude and everything exposed.... This is art? Of commercial value?
Your rejected images may have been rejected for reasons other than the content of the photo.
BigStock's requirements for nudes: No images containing fully exposed buttocks, genitals, fully exposed female breasts or female nipples. Partial nudity is allowed most times.
