Photo Critique / Re: ISTOCK - Pleeeeease help me choosing 3 samples
« on: June 29, 2011, 16:37 »
Thank you guys for the feedback 
some of these pictures have been shot with Canon 450D (little girl portraits and etc.) so they may have some noise included, but the last 3 samples that I sent were shot with Canon 5D MarkII and Canon L lenses, they were dead sharp and completely noise free.
I can't accept that there is not even one good image in 21 images that I've sent for them during my 7 tries!!!! or maybe I'm wrong ... but during my searches in different forums, I've found a lot of weak shots with obvious photographic faults that have been accepted recently as 3 sample submissions!!!!!
Anyway I'm thankful to you all , for your comments and kind words. It's really appreciated.
Good luck: Borna

What camera and lenses are you using?

Am I reading that right? 365 days!!?? Please tell me you don't have to wait a whole year to upload more samples.I gave up trying to enter IStock!!! If they don't want me, that's ok, I'll sell my works where I'm welcomed!!! 7 tries is more than enough!!!!

I am thinking - maybe they want to see more images done in a studio? To prove that you understand professional lighting technique?I've sent Studio pictures in my previous efforts!! Even one of them actually had some special lighting technique (See the pumpkins in the file titled "Rejected" in my main post above)

Did you ask for feedback on the istockforums?I tried but it's not possible to write a post in Istock forums before passing this sample test!!!! Maybe it has been possible before, but now it is not!!!!

There has got to be som little detail that you are missing, because your pictures are much better than mine, and I got accepted with much less hassle.I hate to think like this but I'm from Iran and maybe they prefer not to accept new members from Iran, because Paypal and Moneybookers do not provide their service to Iranians due to silly international sanctions, and stock agencies may have some problems with Iranians when it comes to payment!! (But there are other methods of payment that I'm using with other agencies!!!!)
