If you're tired of photos of eversmiling stock models wearing buisiness suits and using cellphones while shacking hands just look at this one:



And this isn't an amateurish one. Beside the camera used, there is really good illumination, the false vignetting is perfect for the subject and I already thought a hundred of possible usages of an image like this in advertisiment.

I'm really finding out that Flickr is a gold mine if you wanna research the "trend of the moment", far better than Getty's Creative Botique (**yawn**).

I'm trying to get approved from Istock and my first submission was rejected with " we did not feel the overall composition of your photography or subject matter is at the minimum level of standard for iStockphoto". They also added "You're welcome to return in 3 days, upload some new samples and we'll re-process your application."

I'm not entering the discussion about how wonderful my images were (pretty pointless), I think that at least they proved to be technically correct.

I'd just like to know what do they mean with this 3 day limit. Do i have to send them my new, (irony on) exceptional (irony off) images in that time frame? What will happen if I couldn't do it? If you can confirm this I think I'd really need some help and advices.

Thanks in advance.
