« on: June 26, 2011, 15:21 »
Hi everybody,
I'm a regular contributor to different stock agencies such as Shutterstock, Fotolia and Dreamstime; but I have not been able to enter Istock; I have been rejected 6 times in the entrance exam (submission of 3 samples) starting form Jan 2010!!!!! Below you can find some of the files that I have entered previously for this test:

I think they are not really that bad and are selling well in other agencies, but not even one of them has been accepted in Istock entrance exam!!! (They all are crisp and noise-free in full size). I really do not know what Istock fellows are looking for!!!
Please help me to pass the test this time; otherwise I'll have to wait another 6 months or maybe one year for another try!!!!! Please take a look at the following pics and choose 3 photos for submission and let me know if none of them are appropriate!!!!
