Question about Stockxpert
tdoes:
Stockxpert is currently the hardest site for me at getting photos approved. They have a fine acceptance balance between noise issues and detail that, in alot of cases, I see as being too nit picky considering how the photo may be used. I see it that way because I coming at this from the designers perspective first!
I'm always working to improve my photography but I still think they've set their standards higher than some other sites. Am I mistaken?
Does anyone with success on this site believe this is the case? What subject matter do you have the most success at this site with?
Thanks for your help

They reject a lot of common images, that applies to me. But I never had problems with rare images. For me that is of penguins and icebergs. Of them they reject much less then for example IS. What I think is that StockXpert is looking more for unique motives while IS looks more on quality and motive is secondary.

Strange because it is the easiest stock for me. I've over 1000 photos there and the only ONE photo they didn't accepted was photo of angry man showing middle finger :) It is a very profitable stock for me too - even more then DT is. Maybe the matter is what kind of photos we are uploading there. I prefer working in the studio with models (popular topicks like business, medicine etc.). I'm using quite cheap DSLR but with good lenses (there's better cameras with much lower noise level).

I think you may be on to something!
I've just had a vector rejected for unclosed paths but what's unclosed are just stroked paths which is part of the design (sales chart)! This won't affect the files usage which is why I don't understand that reason given.
the unclosed paths are the lines forming the blue grid minuse the border.

I definitely see how this site can be profitabile!
Just when I think I have this site figured out I realise I don't.
This photo was rejected for lack of detail but I see alot of detail. It was photographed outside and isolated later. The full size is approx. 26 x 35 inches
