What are Bigstock particular about for their submissions. Also have they raised their standards? Seems to be rejecting quite a few lately after my first 25 accepted.

Yes, I think they have raised their standards in recent months.  They used to accept nearly everything.

not just that, they have also been really slow in reviewing lately as well.

I have no problem that they raise their standards, but they are rejecting images that are accepted in StockXpert, IS and DT.

maybe the are running out of server space and looking to keep costs down!

Big Change. It's not gonna be the place to upload your crap to anymore.There done with that whole mentality.About time.

Have they told you that?

if they raised the bar, i think it's a good thing. i noticed i am getting less rejections with "this is a snapshot", which is another good thing... ie. my images are no longer snapshots ! 
seriously, i like Bigstock to get better, as they are slow in sales but compared to the others, one sales in Bigstock is like 5 subs. much better , except they need to sell more often. also, Liz and Joseph are such cool ppl. never fail to respond to you promptly if ever you need an explanation. Liz , especially , she 's a superwoman, (no pun intended).

As much as I hate to agree with you bat,  I agree here that BigStock is cool. Yes, Liz is super cool , and so is Joseph!    Also, funny you should mention that "snapshot" rejection. I did notice the rejections are more specific now, and less vague like that dreaded "snapshot" rejection.
I am cheering for BigStock for sure ! Go go !

I am pleased with their performance in reviews.
Also, administrators do well on any issue or dispute which may appear.

I had one of my series of 7 vectors with sample text over texture. Buyer has complained about that and Liz informed me about that complaint. I uploaded 7 images from that series without text and buyer was happy with problems solved.

Yes. BigStock is cool agency and I am on my way to first few pages of authors listed there!
