I just have to vent/rant for a bit. On xx there is a guy who has only 300photos in his folio, sold 100, exercises photography since October 2006, shoots with a simple bridge cam, if you judge his pics you see that he has absolutely NO knowledge about whitebalance vs overexposed AND HE GETS TO REVIEW THOUSANDS AND THOUSANDS of our pictures.

I think this is totally unprofessional and not at all motivating for us contributors.

What do you guys think? Is my opinion too superficial or do you think that I'm right?

WHOAAAAAAAAAAA

Without knowing the the details to your rant, the question could also be what is the role of the reviewer.

IMO they should only check that there is no noise/ pixilation/logos/copyright/models/out of focus etc that the buyer cant see from a small preview.  Things like colour, the buyer can determine for themselves.

i think color should be part of it as well.

if an image has a nasty color cast, then it is not a good image.

What do you mean by the role of the reviewer? Do you suggest that he could only be reviewing if there are logos on the pic or not? He says he's a reviewer so I guess he's doing the whole thing.

ANyway, I found it frustrating that an amateur gets to review our images.

Note: I'm not saying this because I had pics rejected:)

Must be a SS reviewer....the scrape the floors of their forum to find reviewers. They actually hire people right out of the forum!
A reviewer is a thankless job....low pay, no benefits, boring job description, and no no excitement....Not like us guys who spend all
our waking moments meeting new people, getting out and taking pictures, mixing it up and having a good time.
