That noise reduction stuff made a difference.

congrats   yeah noise is a big pet peave of theirs

Good for you. Took me 4 attempts (i have a deep resentment for noise reduction)

I finally learned my lesson and sales are quite suprising so far. I was ready to give up on them but now I am glad I kept trying.

Cheers!

Congratulations! 

I refused to give up on getting accepted.  It was a quite a challenge for me, but I won!

And now I get very few rejections for noise.

congrats!!!! It's great to be at Shutterstock. Truely!
