Yep, the textures don't follow the fabric well enough.

"Fritz, I'm a little hesitant to reveal my port at this stage. And the reason for that is because I don't want any of these 50,000 port image factories out there stealing my ideas until I have the manpower to dominate my specific niche. I've realized that the only way to be successful in this industry is to create your own ideas and innovate, give the world concepts that haven't been seen before or improve on existing ones. There is a lot of trial and error to which ideas have worked and what haven't. I hope you can understand my situation. "
I doubt 'they' would care...

It's not even true. Yuri and some other pseudo or quasi exclusives have their photos elsewhere, even the same ones.
Some even have their own "Vetta" (tm) collection offsite: http://peopleimages.com/support/prices

That's $5 for dues, and $20 for the free tshirt.

And EP still means absolutely nothing. It is a graphic flag that says nothing about the file, and is only to reward Getty contributors and favorites, in best match. I don't believe it doesn't affect that.

"While I do not agree with stereotyping any culture, I think it is fair to judge a culture based on the LAWS it enacts. "
Agreed. Many of these incidents we read about in the Middle East, based on religious doctrine are both inane and scary.

All the images are stolen. All of them have watermarks, thats not even allowed. He is a thief, so that makes the blog owner a hypocrite.
Yeah, it's the old "parody/editorial fair use" discussion...

Well, I think some of these are using real Arabs, but they're shot by beginning Arab photographers (or others) who just don't know how to create a successful image. Also, I don't think having some kind of head garb necessarily means they're making a statement about an Arab persona. Anyone in the dessert or a hot climate might wrap cloth around their head.
However, some of them are really funny/bad.

We are having our BME on Symbiostock. Our micro income is on target for WMY.
If that doesn't persuade you, I don't know what will 
Numbers?

Then what's the point? Slapping a non-searchable, non-affecting label on things in the hopes that buyers think those are better for some reason? I don't buy it.

"Again, we are planning on investing further in EP going forward as we learn more about how customers are using this flag to find the right file for them."
Except they can't use it going forward to find the right file, as it has absolutely no meaning.
Is it even possible to search on EPs?
Even if it was humanly-sorted, as they originally claimed, it is purely subjective.
It's obviously meant to feed into best match as another variable.

Sooo... work at what you want to do instead of just thinking about it?

Latest IS FB post:
'The ability to curate content with affordable, quality images, opens the door to possibilities. "
I don't even know what that means. How did "create" become "curate"?

Here I took another photo and made sure I didn't crop out the sides. I straightened it, and made the background white.
That just shows you can take a photo of someone else's art. However it shows you are unable to isolate an object - look at the poor isolation work around the bottom of the object. Also, it has distortion due to the wide angle lens you used.
It doesn't show you're a stock photographer.
It seems you forgot where you started long time ago. The guy is here to learn, nothing wrong with that. Why discourage him?
I'm not discouraging him. I'm telling him what is wrong with his submission. The distortion isn't from scaling it. It's from your wide angle lens.

If you're 'new to photography', why do you think you should worry about shooting for stock? Experienced shooters can hardly make it, in some cases.

Well, if the one he likes is 40 credits, that's what the cost is. If it's more important that it doesn't cost 40 credits, then he can pick a cheaper one.

Because you sold at those prices, doesnt meant that it wasnt artificially overpriced. Thats how a cartel works. CDs were kept at 40 guilders and later at 25 euro (50 guilders) when they should have cost 50% less. In fact the CDs only went up in price while everything else became cheaper. This is why people started downloading torrents. They were no longer accepting these artificially high prices. Until Steve Jobs jumped in and made a deal to offer music for 99cent per DL.
Well, I think Porsches are artificially priced high. I should go steal one.

I'm asking in general
Please help in this regard
Is not it possible to say something about this situation?
Nope. There is no 'in general'.

Wow. Great way to direct sales to their contributors of choice.

Looks good, I like it much better this way.
