oh well such a small number of images.. i really wouldn't concern yourself over the view count just yet.

Had very few views on yaymicro and canstock until i got over 50 images up with them. Now they are getting more interest and sales too so i would wait til you have a few more on before judging if it's worthwhile or not.

yes i think more arty types images is the way to go with Veer. I'll post back if i ever get accepted but that will be closer to christmas at this rate!

zsooofija: what size is your port on Veer?

Well second attempt at getting approved on Veer failed. This time some kind of error with the files?! Which is odd as they are uploading everywhere else without a problem.

Wonder if it will be worth contacting Veer to see if they can give any feedback on what the exact problem is?

"Based on these 10 images, we can't offer you contributor privileges at this time. You are welcome to submit 10 new images. We are unable to open these files to view them at full size. Files contain an error."

Thanks for the input, cclapper.

At least i'm not the only one. I'll do as you say and browse more to try to figure out what it is they are looking for. Looks like i will have to change my approach to get in with Veer.

kaarsten: Yes my port is small.. but hoping it will grow. Already put a lot of thought in the exclusive issue and it's because it's a small port (for now) that it has to be spread over a wider area to get noticed. Otherwise i would have lost out on half the sales this month. The $5 made after 2 weeks of being with graphicleftovers wouldn't have happened if i had stayed with say, DT or SS.

What do you mean "never reach the payout limit?"  Never say never. Im starting small but thinking big   

elvinstar: It was pretty much a selection of what you see on my page; http://www.dreamstime.com/Devonsun_info

.. the mp3s, balloon silhouette, camera lens, search light city, girl in dress silhouette, USA healthcare etc

Not complaining about rejections here first off. Every site has their criteria but i would like to know how to improve/get accepted.

These images that were rejected are on a lot of other sites including DT & SS.

So my question is: are veer different from the above sites so much that i have to rethink my design approach and cater for them specifically?

Reason for non-approval:

"Based on these 10 images, we can't offer you contributor privileges at this time. You are welcome to submit 10 new images. Nice illustrations, but a majority of your submission was not compatible with the Veer aesthetic."

Taking that on board i looked through a few live images and found it to be a different 'feel' to the usual. What veer has to offer almost boarders (or IS) more like an art gallery and those images probably wouldn't get approved on the 'other' sites.

Any tips from those 'veer approved' welcome.

Reply from 123rf:

"Hi there,

Connection problems could be a cause of this kind of situation whereby the images were not able to be uploaded completely. As for the rejection for an illustration without a release, we've managed to pinpoint the cause of it. The error was due to an overwritten approval reason by the system. The two images will be reversed from the rejection folder. We regret the glitch.

Regards,

123rf.com"

Might find it hard to reverse those as i have deleted some of the rejected images and simply uploaded them again.

Anyways.. enough about all that. Not sure i even understand the terminology of the reply.
Onwards and upwards.

I have emailed those same questions back to them so i will await with baited breathe for the answers.

Just re-uploaded some images via the web form (instead of FTP) and those thumbnails seem to be ok.
Must be an FTP problem.

All i have to do now is wait for the rejections lol

.... instead a square box with a red X is shown. This is because the file wasn't fully uploaded....

A minor point... but actually there is no 'red X' showing. Only a little white box. Perhaps because i am using firefox or something..

My question exactly donding.

Received that email this morning and popped on to post it but found it here already.

Ok 123rf.. that answers in part the rejection reasons but...

1. My files are not corrupted. I don't say i never make mistakes but.. they are the same files from the same folder that is submitted to various others sites without a problem occurring. I suggest the problem must be happening at the 123rf system end.

2. It would have been nice if a note was left to this effect on the rejection page pointing out the rejection reasons at the time.

3. I would still like an explanation as to why a property release is required for a fictitious city skyline.

No worries donding.. i laughed when i got that rejection as well.

Normally it's a groan of "ugh now what have a got to fix".

I'm just thankful it wasn't a property release request for the stars in that image. I've lost God's address

I also had in November 2009 an image rejected with no reason. They always provide a reason for rejection but this time there was nothing, just rejected. Of course, that particular image was approved on the other agencies. Weird.

It is weird. Makes you feel something odd is going on there. I only recently realised that others were getting reasons for rejection after looking at the forums. Previously i had thought everyone had either 'approved' or 'rejected' as myself with no reason given as that's been the standard i've been used to until the 'property release' statement today.

I also can't access the forums to post. Sign in doesn't work (like i am locked out or something). Starting to get paranoid here lol

OK so we all get rejections and my port is tiny AND i am still learning but...

26 files and 18 rejections on 123RF.
No Sales and no reasons for rejection.. just 'Rejected' in bold red letters. How am i supposed to use that as feedback for improvement?!

The latest rejections which actually had a comment attached are ridiculous.

This image (which has sold today on GL) for instance:

http://graphicleftovers.com/graphic/search-light-city/

Rejected by 123RF because "This image requires you to provide and attach the proper model or property releases."

They want a property release for a made-up city horizon?!  Give me a break. Are the reviewers actually LOOKING at the images or just glancing at them before pressing the 'trash' button.

This image was also rejected for the same reason:
http://www.dreamstime.com/girl-in-dress-image12626211

So.. fed up, i emailed 123RF this morning (uk) and await a response to the following:

"After getting a lot of rejections since signing up i need some clarification please after the latest rejections reasons given as 'property release required.'

It's good if 123 have high criteria to meet but i need more than 'rejected' as feedback to enable improvement on my side to meet that criteria.

After 26 files uploaded 18 are rejected with one pending (and i suspect that will be rejected also.)

The latest reason for rejection are in part unrealistic and frankly absurd: (filenumber***) Search lights pointing into a night sky above a silhouette city horizon (illustration). You guys want a property release for a city? An obviously fabricated horizon created from imagination?! That doesn't make sense neither is it possible to fulfill.

I understand the model release question for the 'girl in dress' (filenumber***) but can confirm this is original artwork and i retain all copyright to it.

On a last note i see a lot of the preview thumbnail images in the 'history' section are not showing up. Is that a reason for rejection also?

Thanks in advance for answering these points so i can improve matters."

Same problems here lately.

Sale showed in earnings but took 24hrs to show up on the actual image.

Took 4 tries at FTP and one of browser upload to get a file into pending.
