I have found it almost impossible to get anything accepted on Fotofolia  and of the 5 pics I have there only 2 views in a long time. Compared to DT this is a no site for me.Though 123RF accept all my pics except a handful the sales are very slow there. Is it just me or is this a trend? Yet on DT I have sold 4 in the last week.  The ups and downs of  this hobby are a little strange   to say the least.

Their rejections are getting more confusing, but maybe I am missing the "behind the scenes" logic.  Maybe they have too many images of great white sharks with their jaws wide open while leaping out of the water trying to chomp on an injured seal.  Just sayin.  Freaks.

It isn't just you, but my experience is much different - lately usually 80-100% acceptance on every batch, and usually the weakest ones get rejected.  They are much easier than DT in my experience.  With only 5 images you're unlikely to generate many sales anywhere - wait until you have 500 to make comparisons.

You will need to take microstock as more than a hobby if you want to see any financial results - maybe then it won't seem quite so strange.

Nothing lost!  they simply dont sell all that nowdays and should you by any chance hit Gold or Emerald ranking, they will bulldoze you back in the sort.
