What's with all these rejections at Dreamstime? They increase our uploads and reject everything. Anyone else feel shafted like I do?

Almost non of you complaining about rejections ever show any of the shots, which means opening the threads about them is useless

I rarely ever get a rejection at DT and when I do they are usually right, the same at Fot.
SS and IS sometimes reject something that I think they shouldn't. At IS I try to improve it and give it another shot and at SS I usually put it through again a couple of weeks later and it gets accepted. I think that I am harder on myself that the reviewers and am very careful about what upload.

DT is notorious for rejecting "similar" images, so you might be seeing that quite a bit. They won't take more than a couple of images from a set, which I think is a mistake because it limits the buyer's choices. I get rejections from all the sites, but never the same images from any particular batch, and never for the same reasons. So at the end of the day, all of the images from a particular batch are available somewhere on the web, which is one reason why I won't go exclusive anywhere. I've been at this for a while now, and I choose very carefully which images to upload, knowing that the inspectors will simply take what they like, and all of 'em have different criteria, likes, and dislikes, even among inspectors for any given site. They are very subjective, when (IMHO) they should limit themselves to technical quality. But that's just the way it is, and I don't see it changing any time soon.
