Hooray, all 49 images are now in my portfolio.

I didn't receive an email but logged on this morning and there they were  ;D

Glad for you toots. Think I might have upset the regime there, had 24 out of 26 images refused (most before that was about 2 out of a batch). Some of those has already sold multiple times on SS. Oh well, it is my decision not to hide behind aliases and take responsibility for my opinions, so if I get targeted for that, so let it be.  ;)

Ooooh, that is painful. A bit harsh if it's something to do with your postings here though. Surely Yay wouldn't do that to someone, would they  ???

Well, at least they're selling on SS  :)

Anything is possible. Hopefully it is just one of the new reviewers getting over excited with all the buttons  ;D  I resubmitted the 6 best. Will see what happens.

Well toots all 6 rejected in record time for: "Please improve image editing/post processing (like all the others where).

With an approximate acceptance rate of about 98% and suddenly getting 24 out of 26 rejected, with a lot of them already selling at SS, you tell me if you think it is not personal?

not personal "please improve composition/background' is just the latest subjective replacement for LCV - just how are you supposed to improve composition after the fact?   they've also started rejecting any picture with a person in it as requiring a model release, but wont accept those as editorial either.

i dont have time to waste on trying to guess what a lowsales site might want - i upload, let them take what they want, and forget about it

Like the site, that is why I kept going for 2 years with 1 payout so far. But if this is the crap they are going to start with and throw stuff out that most of the big sites accepts, even uploading will be a waste of time. Will just take them of the list and check if there is another payout in 2 years time (if they are still there).

ok, here's and even more ridiculous rejection reason that's been used for entire batches several times now -- "too many similars"  -- however, these were almost entirely NEW images, with little similarity even within the batch!
