I'd uploaded some images to Fotolia this morning and decided to delete one of them and upload an "improved" version of the same image.

They must have been reviewing the upload as I was deleting - the deletion didn't go through, the original file was approved along with the rest of the batch and my "improved" version was binned because of it being a similar file.

I've contacted them to see if they'll reinstate the better image.

Impressive review turnaround time though! Less than 3 hours.

That's a fast review! Where they people shots? I've noticed 123RF reviews my people shots first sometimes they will even pull out the people shots and review my other non-people shots days later...

Nope, no people. The batch was a mixture of orangutans, floaty bubbles and OOF flowers.

They are people, I bet.  I know I am no floaty bubble.  I do however have red hair. 

Oh *.

Actually, you've got me. "Floaty bubbles" is a euphemism for "Alamy contributors".

you have the inside track on FT! Lucky You!

They must have been absolutely gagging for some floaty bubbles.
