yes my files have been online for nearly a week-they used to review them in a day or so. Probably no reviewers?

He has got so many similars why are they not deleted by SS? If I upload similars only 1 is accepted. Not impressed at all by so many paper bags etc.

Looking at all the images I feel that they may be brighter as SS does not seem to like dull  pics, from  my experience. Also if you use HDR    I was aware it was a no no as I used it a lot prior to becoming a SS contributor.  Now I shoot in RAW and process very minimally and nature , flowers and animals as well as vectors are mostly well accepted. Just keep on trying it's the only way to improve.

On a Sunday I seem to have all submissions  rejected for the same two reasons-
POOR LIGHTING
OUT OF FOCUS
 Yet during the week the similar images  are ACCEPTED.
This is NOT GOOD ENOUGH, Something must be done  by SS to standardise the review process. It is so unfair and time wasting and frustrating. I ask just how can so many pics be rejected for the same reasons? On a Sunday? WHY??

This is getting ridiculous-I had the whole batch of 60 assorted images rejected for the same reason-Poor Lighting and Composition. Yet during the week similar batches were accepted. Just what is going on ?? I submit  about 2 or 3 of each batch daily so they are virtually all the same quality.It is about time SS gave better reasons than the same old ones every time. For eg-how can a cloud in a blue sky be poorly composed?  I guarantee if I resubmit these 60 most will get accepted. But why do we have to muck around like this? It is getting seriously stupid.Not to mention the time converting from RAW, zooming to 100%,  cropping, key wording, etc. If I submit to other sites they are accepted no questions. SS must be missing out on  1000's of images daily. And for what purpose? It just raises our ire and causes extra work on our part.  I would  not mind if the same rejection reasons were legitimate but I fail to see how 60 different images can be rejected for the same 2 reasons. Has any one else had this lately??

It took me  two years to learn the basic principles of good photography and that was because every day I took images and analysed them .After 4  attempts I was accepted on SS . Keep learning and look at other  peoples work on SS to get an idea of technical standards. You are persistent  so don't let anyone drag you down .I am sure you will make it in the end but it will be a long road. None of the pics critiqued were up to SS standard-for the reasons already stated by others on this forum. I shoot lots of flowers and  they are my second best sellers.I also do many illustrations in abstract as I have developed my own style which are readily accepted. You must find a niche and work on it. Good luck.

Shortly after my post all the designs were accepted. What a relief.

Received an email today but it was for images submitted over a year ago. Hope they get it right soon. Have contacted them.

Yes it is a waste of time to receive multiple emails-they need to look into it.

I have been intrigued by the fast review time at SS. My 3 uploads yesterday were all done in one day.Has every one stopped uploading or what??But still very tardy on acceptance rates and same old excuses carte blanche-poor lighting, incorrect white balance and fuzzy ? images??
