Anybody else with similar experience? I submitted a very varied mixture of pictures (film+scan,dslr,compact digi) of different subjects (concepts, landscapes, animals, flowers, signs, objects etc.) and even put 2 illustrations in for good measure. All images noisefree and around 4MP. The same images I submitted to 10+ other stocksite and all normal, every site had it pick and choose the pics they liked and rejected the ones they don't like. Only Imagevortex rejected all and everything, so I wonder if it is worth to continue to upload there... Anybody else here with positive/ negative experiences??? Thanks SY

No, my uploads with ImageVortex have been mostly succesful.  In a few cases they have rejected for the subject or composition, but my acceptance there is probably around 90%.

Now, if I could only sell there...

i only have a few uploads there.. however

no sales and no surprise

Very picky for me but I have given up as I have had no sales.  18 accepted with 34% acceptance.

I had 100% rejections there as well, although I only uploaded a few images...

I uploaded my best sellers from Istock and SS, and they were rejected, so I left it for a while and went back and searched their catalogue to see what I'd got wrong..  I couldn't see anything substantially better/different about the images in the library compared to mine with the same keywords etc. so didn't bother submitting anything else.

Cheers, Me.

I've had a low acceptance at IV as well ... only 2 out of 9 submitted. I just contacted them (through their site) asking what images they want/need. Hopefully I'll get some decent answers. I'll let you all know what I hear. 

I'm curious, what is the rejection reason they give you at IV?  Some of images I have there are in microstock, but about 50% are my high res images that I don't sell in microstock.  Most of my rejections were from the "microstock" group, generally for poor lighting or composition.  I don't totally disagree, they weren't great images, although other sites accepted them.

I have have asked the same questions of them and had no answers, it's hard to decide what to upload as they are so bloody picky, I think this site is a waste of time.

They want typical stock photos, not too artistic and very, very clean. I have sixty-something photos there, but still no sales after a year. I upload now and then, but don't waste too much time on them.

madelaide - Are you getting sales there?  how many photos have you got accepted.

CJ,

I have 57 photos there, just one sale, from which I got US$10.50 - or rather say "I will get someday", if I reach the minimum payout (US$100).

Very low acceptance and no sales. I quit going there.
