sauerkraut mate

looking at google pictures, hell no

Don't say that :-). Combined with Kasseler (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Kassler) it is very good...

that look a little better, I am not a weird food guy, I don�t have anything that I don�t say I won�t eat

So far all I'm getting is sub sales. What's your experience at this site? I don't mind getting mostly subs if the volume was even remotely close to Shutterstock, which it of course isn't (I'd be getting 100+ DLs every day over there, if I uploaded mostly my best stuff and that is almost 140 files, instead of 5 in 4 days I get on 123 RF).

it ain�t SS but it is becoming a very very nice agency close to be my 4th eating DT

RPD on 0.81$ and 50% of sales on SUB

eheheh

I will redo my title, description and keywords 

how about?

Title - Smiling guy
Description - young adult smiling while trying to cry (tiny tears visible) isolated on white background
Keywords - man, male, adult, young, smiling, isolated on white

slapped and crying no right?

ROTF!

Sorry to say, but I think rejection was justified...

He doesn't look like crying to me. he does not look depressed (He is smiling!). Can't see any signs of violence, pain or illness either... Maybe there is a tear in his eye, but the facial expression and body language looks pretty positive to me.

that�s the beauty of the world and people! we all have a different look

Without seeing the actual image, it's hard to advise. There are guys crying and guys crying ... and inspectors and inspectors.

REPLY FROM SHOTSHOP

Hello Luis Santos,

thanks for your interest in shotshop. We still took a closer look at your portfolio at shutterstock and we think that offering your pictures on our plattform doesn't make much sense. We're trying to seperate us from the several microstocks and we still have lots of this kind of stock images. I kindly ask for your understanding and wish you all the best.

best regards
Stephan Kr�mer

(others I have emailed still haven�t answered)

I find it kind of strange that folks who refer to themselves as �professional� seem to be blaming �crappy images from noobs� for getting rejections from sites instead of looking at their own work.  Seriously, any professional in any market place has to know what his customer is looking for and go and meet THAT demand, not the demand he feels that the customer SHOULD have and, make no mistake, in this case Dreamstime is the customer and calls the shots whatever any of us think of that.  To take the example of spices, there are 22.5 K images there already � every spice known to man in every combination from every angle � why would they wish to clutter up the site with 20 more of the same in a single submission? No buyer going there for such an image is going to go away empty handed.  At least they�re giving the option to make a collage to make the submission a little different or to submit 1 or 2 instead of rejecting them all out of hand.  The choices appear to be:

�   Do something different;
�   Do collages (if you can be bothered � seems like too much work for too little return to me);
�   Submit where the collection will be accepted.

you are SO RIGHT! thanks a lot 

They are screwing their own market.

exactly, they are going MICRO MICRO MICRO, they are offering buyer these collages and in a few time they will want only that pics..  I love smart guys, they seem to have a lot there

or we have collages or we have ONE picture of the subject

any help with the disapearing rejected files?

send them again LOL I bet they won�t notice it

I am getting quite upset with Dreamstime, they want 100 pics on the same picture.. this ain�t good for stock and even worst for us contributors.. this is just NUTS

my latest work on spices is just incredible, imagine you have a picture from ABOVE and other front view.. they won�t took both.. they want both on the same pic.. this is just NUTS

I don�t know how much I will give to them when they don�t care about nice pictures.. but only nice pictures to sell at 35cents and worst keep on rejecting due to similar when they aren�t and WORST approving crappy pictures from newbiews..

where is Dreamstime going??.. THANKS GOD they are the only one doing this... sorry but I am quite pissed and seem that support doesn�t help, only repeats to do COLLAGE!!!
