Photo Critique / Rejection:
« on: July 26, 2010, 12:54 »
Hi all
I am new to microstock and submitted some images to Dreamstime, expecting some rejections. Of the twelve I submitted, they refused 6 and of those, I can agree with 4 - partly testing their submission criteria (model release for people with backs to camera?).
One of the images they refused for the following reasons:
- Lack of composition. Please visit the Stock Photo Utilities section of our site or the message boards for more information on how to produce stock-oriented images.
- Poor lighting setup, poor contrast or incorrect exposure.
I didn't think it was a composition issue, so I corrected the lighting, boosting the contrast and generally giving it a makeover. I resubmitted it failed just on poor lighting
Your comments are most welcome, is it worth tweaking and resubmitting?
