I my first batch for microstock, there was a photograph of two pidgeon on a wire and only sky as background. Was refused because without personal release. I don't know if they are stupid or idiot

what?? you didnt ask for the pigeons to sign you a model realeash??? shame on you

when i was living in London i did a lot of the red carpet thing and i have many nice shots of some hollywood celebs.i put many of these images in DT becouse they have the option for celeb photos ,but i only sold 2 photos there.
so is there any other  site  out there apart from DT i can put these photos?.but without exclusivity.
also  can you post celeb pics in SS and Istock?

well i am, but no luck there.specially in gurushots most of the winning shots are the images that they d be rejected by agencies like ss and dt.Overfiltered or done  by photoshop
but i guess its the kind of images people want to see and admire rather than a blant stock photo of a tree lol
on the other hand what puzzles me bout these contest, if in the best case scenario you won then they  want to take the rights and not be able to sell it.i ve read that in the rules of a contest in some site

I'm also wondering if we owe those quick reviews to bots.. But then it's weird that the bot approves the images that were just rejected by the bot the day before

its the battle of the bots

when i visited ny 2 times i took loooooooooooooots of pictures and now most of them i put them in the  agencies and nobody said anything hehe
the thing is when you will visit us you have to be really  careful what you shoot. and how you are gonna photograph the subject. i ve seen many videos on youtube where photographers in ny mostly,  they were  harassed by   police officers and now  becouse of the whole terorrism paranoia things are very tight  in taking photographs all the time,
also you have to careful when you are doing street photography.Try to avoid to take photos of  some certain buildings or even malls.and  most of all do not take pics of people doing things unless you have a telefoto lens and you are shooting from a far distance
also try to take pics in tourist places or try nature like sea sky or animals or even dogs or pets.

Jazz44 maybe they don't speak English 

if you go to the eyem  site and upload the images from there they give you some keywords which you can change them if you want to and you can describe your photos
only if you upload from your cell then you cant keyword the image   

hi how can i edit keywords on dreamstime?.unfo when i first started on this agency i didnt put tones of keywords is there anyway to change that? or it cant be done

How To Contact Fotolia Reviewing Team:

You must travel to a small town in the north of France called Vismes. On the outskirts of town, nestled within a small stand of trees, you will find a cabin. The door to the cabin is hidden and can only be seen at sunset. When the failing light illuminates the edges of the door, knock three times. The door will open. How? No one knows since no one has ever been seen inside the cabin to answer the knock. It just opens.

Inside you will find an elevator. Don't worry about which button to push, there is only one. It will take you down. It will seem like you are going forever but just when you think it can't possibly go any deeper, you will arrive at your destination.

When the elevator opens you will find yourself in a tunnel leading to three different rooms. Enter the centre room. DO NOT under any circumstance set foot in the other rooms. Inside the centre room you will find a series of puzzles you must solve. Don't ask how, they are always different. If you manage to solve the puzzles a wall will slide open and a small desk, complete with writing paper and a pen, will present itself. Write your message to the reviewers there. You must phrase every sentence in the form of a question and sign it with the name "Albion",  it's just how they've always done it.

Once you have completed your message, seal the letter in an envelope, oh by the way you must bring an envelope with you, and place it into the slot on the opposite side of the room. Immediately exit and do no look back. The elevator will be waiting for you and if you have done everything correctly you will know by the fact that no one will ever respond.
