Shutterstock.com / first rejection at SS
« on: November 21, 2006, 09:48 »
Hello, newbie here, just subscribed to a couple sites, got some pictures up in Fotolia, on the queue with DT and IS and tried Shutterstock too (maybe a little too soon).
So got my first rejection in SS, now I was trying to understand which ones they liked (most of the initial 10 photos were ok for FT, so maybe...).
I've been very careful about noise, ran noiseninja on all pictures and even downsampled some.
I've got 1 rejected for limited commercial value and 1 for lighting, but the remaining 8 were rejected with "7 of 10 must be approved" without any other reason, is it just normal?
Well, retrying in a month, maybe with a completely different batch with photos approved on the other sites.
