I thought that this was a particularly cool image with good commercial potential...... And it was rejected

For limited commercial value

What do you think?

I like it too but I got mixed feelings regarding the use of this picture, try to upload it next week

Interesting because there is SOOOOO MUCHHHHH JUNK on SS and your image is very interesting and well composed for copy. I get very frustrated at seeing some of the point and shoot "studio junk" some of their contributors get accepted. Wait a week and reup in hopes of a different inspector. By the way, the other thing that bothers me about LCV is that are all inspectors designers? NOPE! So what makes them the expert? At least at Istock they take pretty much anything as long as it meets their tough standards. Why? They are smart enough to know that designer needs are endless.

I disagree with the SS inspector. I can imagine any number of uses. For example, I might take two copies, side-by-side, flip one vertically so that the graphic lines are flowing to the center, add a blur perhaps, and it would make an awesome background. Maybe you should do that and submit it.

It's the kind of picture they usually - but not always - reject lately, but could sell well if accepted

like the image. It seems to me LCV means not mainstream. Surely they have enough of the mainstream. It is something different or niche photos they need. So often those that are CV really are stale or have a "sameness" about them. FT seems the worse to me for prejudging CV.

SS rejected me some abstract works and texture (I'm not happy for texture, I've sold a gold texture more that 36 times in few weeks $:-\$ ) for "limited commercial value" so I think that it's normal reject this work. Mine was beauty too but, you know, how many abstract works there're on SS? Too many.So don't take it bad. It's a normal rejection.

I switched it to B&W, resubmitted it, got accepted, immediately got about 5 sales in 1st week. Go figure.
