I usually have several rejects of this type every week, but today I think I had the worst. Check for yourself:



Rejected for:

{[ Beautiful,  Blond Hair,  Blond Hair,  Elegance,  Enjoyment,  lay down,  Relaxation]}

The girl is blond, I know her perfectly. Elegance for the dress, ok, bad idea...enjoyment (a book)...ok, bad idea...relaxation? reading a book in the park is not relaxation? Well...bad again, too "abstract" for them. Lay down...? Beautiful???!?!?

So, if a client is searching for beautiful woman reading, mi pic doesn't match. If looking for woman laying down grass...doesn't match, if the client needs a blonde...mi model doesn't match?

This hurts more because I make about 100 pictures a week, and IS only lets me upload 15. Resubmitions are not an option for me

I gave a chance to SPX since my last dissapointment, and my pictures are waiting since the end of Christmas

Probably you�re right, I�ll retry cloning the manufacturer name.

Thanks all.

Thanks, I saw them...what a massacre!   

Commented one of them. Guys, comment the other ones from Madelaide for mode variety.

Thanks Madelaide and Kabby for your words to my picture.

Here�s the next one:

And if you see the rest of my portfolio, you are free to comment it here for critics or advices, I want to be better stocker, like all of you ^^

One of my lastest uploads is this one:

http://www.123rf.com/photo_2019466.html

In 123 was accepted, but it was not in Bigstock for this reason:

"Potential copyright / trademark / privacy issue with photo (could be: copyrighted art, visible logo, license plate number, etc) sorry..."

There are hundreds of towers like that in the stock sites, why this is not valid like any other classic or ancient tower? What are they afraid of? How can I avoid this stupid rejections?

For me it�s, by far, the most discusting thing in the uploading process. I love sites like LO or Imagekind for not including them.

I know categories are necessary but...do you know any way of doing the process less painful?

I have two pics rejected for showing people from their back, it is normal in StockXpert?

This is one of them:

Model release was needed nowhere except in StockXpert 

I uploaded about 40 images, and at least a half of them have been published with different tittle and tags, and now they have about three times less keywords than in other stock places. Now I can add just one more keyword for image.

It�s very kind to help us choosing tags for themselves, but I would like to choose keywords by myself like I do in any other place.

But I thought exclusivity contract was only for the work published in the exclusivity account, so I supposed there was not any conflict if I had another non-exclusive account with different work...exclusivity ties the work published as exclusive, not the photographer, isn�t it?


Sorry for my poor English
