drat, i just had 35 approved minutes ago. i wonder if they're included or they tried to rush them through before the promotion? fingers crossed.

Thanks again, all! Now I await the reply from VEER, as in VEERy strange, or perhaps very VEERd :-)

there is a veer rep who visits this board if you post this in the veer forum. http://www.microstockgroup.com/veer-marketplace/how-do-you-find-the-submission-process/msg144771/?topicseen#newi get loads of different rejection reasons from veer and the classic one is for "being too voyeuristic". but, i have yet to receive one from veer or any other agency for over sharpening, even if i do sharpen all my photos in lightroom on my raw files.

Maybe the system is lactose intolerant? 
maybe the images have been put out to pasture? like i said, they'll come back when they've been fed.

lecisco- This is good feedback, we will be looking for ways to make the submission and editing process more efficient, so we'll take what you said into consideration.
One tip- many contributors find that it's easier keyword their images offline in a photo editing program, then submit the images with all the metadata embedded, which our system automatically reads and plugs in. If you do it this way, you'll greatly reduce the amount of time you'll need to spend editing within your Veer Marketplace account.

hi ryan, it's great that you're answering some questions here. i've always wondered where is the button to click to delete a photo or to edit some keywords after it's been accepted.

wait at least half a day...the rest might come back.  what does this have to do with "dairy"? are cows part of the picture?

well, your may day theory may hold, but it's no longer mayday and dl have bounced back with a vengence.

If the only rejection is for keywords, i.e. there isn't another reason, why not try the keyword forum? I understand what cclapper is saying, but if that drill is 'aluminium', then 'aluminium' is correct for that image.Actually, even if there was another issue, it would still be worth getting clarification on these keywords.
it's lovely that there is scout to fall back on when you have an intransigent inspector to deal with or to go directly to the keyword forum for clarification. however, this all takes a lot of time better spent elsewhere. i've never had a rejection based purely on keywords but it's always thrown in as an afterthought or additional proof. but the rejection always had something quite physically visible in the photo, like animal ear, leg, etc. for a dog bouncing around. but the ironic thing is that a photo with only the torso of a real nurse (trying to control the rambunctious dog) visible is rejected for the keyword "real people", while also requesting a model release at the same time. is may have a method to their madness, but most of the time they are splitting hairs and wasting our time (and quota).

I think they're pretty consistent and it's great to have scout to fall back on.
They are tighter than shutterstock, but then have you seen the overall quality of the SS collection lately?
When I buy I always start at IS there's a lot less crap to sift through.
i haven't really compared the different agencies' collections but at least it's crap that sells at ss. when i have exactly the same photos at both agencies, they just do much better at ss. fyi, i don't have any crap in my own portfolio, only the highest quality stuff.

I do much better with istock reviewers than I do with DT at the moment. For me is should be DT...arrrrrrrrrrrrrrrggh!!! 
yeah, but with is, it's one image after another, sometimes a few hours or days apart, that's dripping (i mean, driving) me mad. at least with dt, it comes all at once.

Highgate cementary in London actually,
ok, that rings a bell. i used to live in south london. i guess another atmospheric, or oft visited, cemetary would be franz kafka's grave in prague.

that's interesting. was your graveyard shot something you made back in the glory days or from a more recent shoot? does it have people? i presume it's a great seller for halloween and for any other ghoulish themes.

You never know with RM, four months back ( not Alamy) I sold an erie, scary graveyard shot for 9K and that was for an anti-smoking campaign or something like that.
i've always wanted to do a graveyard shot. so, it's erie and scary, eh? can't you name the agency? do you think it did better as rm than rf?

er, thanks for asking. you know, the usual. i normally brush off these little annoyances like water off a duck's back, but when they start to accumulate, it really gets under your skin. i think their combination of rejection reasons are just too much and not that accurate either (mistaking a nondescript out of focus blob of blue for the samsung trademark). then, the best match change, etc. for a major stock company, they compare so poorly to ss performance...did someone say their reviewers are amateurs? i'm starting to wonder.

i have discovered that all you need to do is click on the "submit checked" box (after you check all) on the prepare and submit page, without having to do any keyword or title editing. of course, once you do that, you can't go back and edit anything.
if you do want to edit your keywords, i found their vocabulary expander a great keyword tool. the acceptance rate and sales are something else.

i find that during months with el sales, the us buyers account for 60% (rather than the usual 20%). either there are more us buyers of ELs or the non US buyers are using images w/o an EL.
