It should sell if people want to buy it.

They look nice, has artistic value, but may not have that much commercial value. The majority of your sales probably came from about 10 images. The washed out look makes the images look dull, whereas bright, high-contrast images gives them a more commercial look.

If I'm a tourist website and I want to highlight Jasper, Alberta, should they pick your photo over this one?

Ask yourself that question, cause that photo is your competition.

I agree with this. I ratchet up the vibrancy/saturation on all my photos. It's what people want. I'll also echo the naming/key wording comments. I'd enjoy thinking up neat artistic names for my images, but I have to think like a buyer and figure out what the heck they would search for. There are probably some other photos of campers with legs out the back of a car, what would I need to search for to find them?

Thankfully with Shutterstock you can change keywords after the fact. Not so much on Fotolia.

Done

I think you have some good,photos, but give it some time. Key wording is also important, especially on Fotolia.

I have a crop sensor camera, and downsize most of my images to 6 megapixels to upload. I've found it eliminates rejections for blur. I've had tripod photos rejected for blur in the past, so don't feel bad. If I'm looking at an image still full size and I think it's spot on or pretty close, I try it at full or only reduce it to 12-15 megapixels. After a while, I got the hang of what Shutterstock would accept; they seem to be the most particular.

I used to make everything 6, but then I uploaded two similar images, one of which I forgot to resize, and both sold simultaneously, and the buyer paid more for the big one, so if I can get things up bigger, I'm glad to have the extra cash.

I've got three clips waiting that will be seven days later today.

Hmmm. I had more than three times as many sales as usual today on Fotolia, and 2/3 were sub sales all made at exactly the same time for two keywords. Someone's stocking up.

 Wait, you can find out the keywords people search for on Fotolia? Where is that?

This is why I assume they've left it as a beta, the bugs in the image count. I have two images that appear out of order. It's weird, but the page is still pretty well setup and  easier to use than iStock.

if it were not for this latest incident, a worse tragedy could have happened
ie. the king bot would be taken over the whole company
and bought over all the shares of ss,
and we would have a new AI takeover movie in real life.

and we would all be extras in the movie, without being paid 

Terminator 6: Rise of the Automated Stock Footage Reviewers, Okay, We're Kindof Running Out of Ideas.

I feel ya. I've also got a couple pictures pending for over two weeks that are time sensitive. IStock moves slowly.

Ah ha. I thought it was totally based on sales. In this case, the lower sales photo is actually a week older than the other, although it has sold a little bit more recently, but it's helpful just to know more goes into it than sales

It's the way Fotolia does rejections. They don't really tell you.

I've had a photo of a State Supreme Court building rejected  by Shutterstock three times for needing a Property Release. The building isn't a private office building, it's owned by the state.

They've accepted my photos of the building across the street... the Capitol.

Could the fact that the building was built in the 1970's be the issue? That the architecture is copyrighted? They didn't reject it for copyright reasons.

Thoughts?
