The last 2 are great, I'd choose another one for the 3rd.

I don't understand what the last image is supposed to convey?

Cigarette butts on earth with some weird exhaust opening where flames are coming out off? I don't get it.

Forget the first 2.

Please post the skyline bigger with a watermark!

Are these all vectors? The gears look auto-traced, but I can't see enough of the stones or city to get a feel for the technique. The Earth ones don't really look like what iStock is looking for. They seem to like distinctive and developed illustration styles.

Do not send those HDR's to IS.

They reject my work for overfiltering if I even add the slightest bit of saturation (the way other agencies like it) let alone adding the HDR look.
Keep them neutral for IS, no art stuff or composites, they reject all of them in my case.

Your conceptuals, tells me nothing!  the world is smoking?  whats that? microscope and a globe?  whats that?  People who look to gain memberships at sites such as, SS, IS, DT, FT,  should look at their content, whats commercial and what sell.

At IS, you dont have to be creative to get in, all you need are technically sound images, surely that cant be too hard to achieve with all programs and everything.

These threads always baffles me,  why dont people do their homework before applying? the days of "any old garbage accepted"  are over, especially if you want to make any money out of it.

Best, and try again, this time with technically good images.
