I hate to be the one to say it, but you're not getting into IStock with your portfolio at this time.
It's mostly 3D stuff that's not up to the standard IStock want.
Just my honest opinion, sorry.

Thanks Microbius. I can't understand, 3 of these images are in the first page by popularity on SS and aren't enought good?  ::) :o :o ::) I have sold them a lot of times, so it's difficult believe that aren't enought good...but I accept that Istock isn't interesting in it and I close with this stock. But this time I want to tell that there isn't a so incredible quality standard on IS, it's simply different and subjective, like anywhere else. I have seen wonderful works and terrible works, like...anywhere else.  8) :-*

I personally liked 1 and 3 and think they have selling potential on IS, but I don't think these will be pass IS's QA.

Thank aeof, maybe they want only photographs...I'm quite exasperated. Really I'd like pass this examination only for personal pride.

It's hard to tell from the small size, but I'd agree they are just sort of a mishmash of stuff.  The letter image definitely won't earn you any points.  Toss that one right away.  The Christmas Tree might have been accepted four or five years ago - right now it looks very amateur.

Great depression  :D ;)
When I made the christmas tree, actually, I have copied a christmas tree on Istock, I liked it, it was very colorful and nice...It was a very popular images, I think 3 or four years ago.  :D
Thanks a lot guys

(sometimes I think that the only, real, important think is the lucky...if it's a good day for the examiner, he take everything but if it's a bad day there aren't possibilities...Like on SS, Fotolia and dreamstime, I think that, a lot of time there aren't tecnichal problems but only luck).

Yes, it's. There're some photos and some illustrations (mixed media, hand drawn, 3d and raster) but not vectors so I have to try the photo submission...I can make vector too...but...I' m in confusion!! :-X

I think that you should forget istock and concentrate more on other sites. You are going to beat your head against the wall trying to play their games and for the dwindling commissions they are offering, it just isn't worth it anymore. My opinion, of course. I hope you don't get discouraged, just keep trying at the other places and build your portfolio there.
