Geez, I hate to say it, but those big blue balls may make your pictures a hard sell ...
-
Hmm maybe you are right but wee will see, maybe someone need images just like this.

Are you asking for a critique? I think the biggest thing is the poor lighting setup. You can see the umbrellas all over the place and the ceiling is blown out all over. Second would be it looks extremely fake and setup - a very obvious staged event, unless that's what you were going for. Also you have a lot of poor compositions. I think 700 images of this is waaaaay overkill in uploading. If that's how fotolia's acceptance process works, I can't say I'm sorry I'm not there.

Why is this woman taking an orange crap on the nice wood floor? ;)

That's the funniest thing I've seen all day. Classic.

You guys are mean.
Funny, but mean.

WHOA! Let's try to be positive please peeps...
Yes, I agree with all the comments. Yes, the composition of many of these pictures leaves much to be desired (and I certainly wouldn't want my name associated with them). Yes, the quality appears to be poor, with stray arms and legs everywhere, bad lighting and even umbrellas and reflectors visible.
BUT (and it's a big BUT)..... at least dotshock has made an EFFORT; he's gained access to a gym, organised six girls to do the modelling, shipped all his lighting kit there, and then spent three hours and countless days trying to produce a professional quality set of truly stock images. That's a lot of thought and effort, so for that he gets 100% brownie marks.
The set isn't going to sell well, and in due course dotshock will be asking himself all the right questions.
But at least he's TRIED, and from that he'll learn important lessons.

I would suggest trying a bit smaller, getting it right, and them moving up to something larger. Anyways, now he knows the issues with this set.
So, congrats on the effort. Keep working on the results.
-
i agree - good effort, but some issues with lighting/model placement etc.... the orange weights under that gal made me laugh too right away... they should be cloned out.
More effort than i'm putting in so the photog gets more bonus points than i deserve! :)

41 downloads in the set so far, after being on sale for three weeks or so.
Despite the negatives, the set is making money.
