Sorry to be a bit off-topic but looking at your portfolios I am surprised (actually shocked) that other sites are accepting illustrations made up like potential company logos, actually saying so in the illustration. But checking their terms, the license prohibits use in a company logo - as it should be the case for non-exclusive royalty free image license, of course. It looks a lot like offering the customers something that he actually isn't allowed to use this way. So don't expect those images to be accepted at iStock at any time.

However, more back to your original question: Getting abstract feedback here is one thing, not sure if it's really helpful. I'd suggest you get into IS' Critique Request forum, read the sticky post at the top and post some of your sample images BEFORE uploading them for your next application cycle. I guess you will get much more IS-specific support in there.

Hope I didn't sound too critical, but I think studying will definitely help your chances. You've got the basics, just need a little sharpening of your skills, good luck!

Looking at your DT you have 100 uploads with 15 being this month. It is all about quantity and more return. Keep uploading every month to have fresh material and you will see a vast difference. (I dont get to upload like I would like) DT is good to me and I believe i only have around 930 accepted images. I get a payout aprox. every other month or so. Sometimes I let it sit after I could get a payout till I need the money so it can keep getting bigger.
DT is a great agency.
Thnx

I'm in now for seven months. DT was indeed slow the first 3 to 4 months. It takes some time before your pictures become downloaded. The last 2 month DT is becoming close to SS. And most downloads are from pictures which are a few months uploaded. So don't worry....things might become better in time
Shutterstock is the opposite. The first month you are explicite announced as a new artist an get relatively many downloads. After that things went much slower, as it seems. Now, with a much larger portfolio, my downloads are nearly on the level of that first month... I think this is a typical movement for the way SS is giving new contributers a first jump.
