DepositPhotos / Re: DP got picky?
« on: June 03, 2020, 18:58 »

The rejections came from Wirestock not DP. WS tells us nothing of what happens after we upload, except if they decide we don't meet their standards to upload to the other agencies.

Upload the same images to DP yourself and see what happens.  :)

Wirestock has become irrelevant by their own actions and has created a terrible review system that rejects accepted and sold images. Example: I upload my own to SS, AS. The images have been accepted and sold. I selected those same because of WS exclusive requirement, and picked DP, DT and P5 for submission.

They were rejected by Wirestock for distracting elements or the horizon or "exposure". As a result, Wirestock is the problem.

This is really good to knowthank you. I didn't realize that Wirestock had it's own layer of review on top of the sites'. It seems really sillywouldn't they want anything that could make it on one of the sites to be there? They're not even paying to host itit's just an opportunity to make money for them. Not looking like a good option...

DepositPhotos / Re: DP got picky?

I'm fairly new and small time in this business (about 150-300 photos each on a couple sites), and I haven't bothered with DepositPhotos in the past, but given the situation at Shutterstock, I thought I'd check out Wirestock and see how that works (with the idea of getting to a higher level faster) and since Wirestock supports DepositPhotos, it's easy enough to click another box and include them. My first 9 just came back all rejected by DP for noise (There are another 20 pending). Is this typical? All of these were accepted by Shutterstock or Adobe (and mostly by both) and were taken in broad daylight at low ISO and honestly it never occurred to me noise would be an issue on them (Adobe usually nails me if I try to push it a little on noise). I don't generally have issues with rejections on the other sites90%+ acceptance.

Is this typical of DP? It's not much work to click the extra box on Wirestock, but certainly these results are not making me enthusiastic about working with them, especially given that they seem to be a pretty small site to begin with.
