Title: SS rejection - please help!
Post by: gandolfo on September 17, 2010, 10:22

Hi everyone!
I'm pretty new to Stock photography and have a question. Some SS rejections don't seem to be accurate to me.
The attached pic was rejected for following reason "Focus--Your image is not in focus or focus is not located where we feel it works best."
Well, if i watch at 100% it is very clear at eyes and lips, so i can't understand where the focus should work better.  ???
Any idea? Thanks for any advise!!!
Greetings from austria!

Upload full size. At 800px everything looks sharp.

IMHO, they probably think the focus should be on the eye closest to the camera. What I can see, the focus is on the far eye and the nose seemed not tack sharp. I hope more experienced shooters can give you more.

By dropbox: http://www.dropbox.com (http://www.dropbox.com). Make a link in the public folder but watermark your shot in the hair at the right side. I had a look at the EXIF. Looks fine (F10/200). Did you use autofocus or manual 1 point, and where did you focus on?
