Flooboard
- now WB isn't correct, too many blues no?
- focus is acceptable!
- again crop the top left and right corner :)

Woman holding phone
- lighting is really poor
- do you think a buyer wants this picture? to what?.. see other photos at stock agencies regarding this subject..!
- too many distractions on the background!

Thai Sausages
- I like it but a lot of distractions like the blue basket at the right

Lighter
- trademark on the green shirt and lighter!
- the person on the left also a distraction!
- focus isn't well

Cemetary
- where . did you focus??? at the center??? bad focus
- could be a nice photo if it is well focus and no visible names.. or it could be Editorial!

My advice is to shoot less complex shoots... try some regular shoots like fruits, background.. always remember that a shot should have a clean space for copyspace!.. why dont you look into IS photos and other agencies..?

don't give up but I guess you have a lot of work, research and getting to know what stock really is..! (I am very new at stock, year and half but I can tell that you need clean good shoots to bring some bucks..)
What if I cropped the blue basket out of the thai sausages picture, would it be good enough then?

The truth is, the only reason I'm submitting to iStock is because it allows minors to contribute, I'm only 15.

New five photos, I think I'm going to submit the finger pointing on map, the floorboard curve (re-edited) and one of these 5.

scissor:
- a little noise
- too messy all picture no?? try it with less distractions like the papers etc.. maybe a little cropping
- trademark on the middle of the scissor (the symbol)

second:
- like it more
- a little overexposed on the grass (grass could be more beautiful.. :P)
- I would place a higher F to get a little focus on the grass
- crop it a little also, the top right and left corner (remove distractions)

again think if there is a buyer to these pictures, they are better than the first 3 but not enough..
Then what is enough?

Ah yes, number 3 was indeed shot at ISO 640, I remember now. Is there a lot of noise to be discernible or should I edit it out in lightroom?
What about the other 2?

2 new images, because I like the map one, oh the map has no copyright, as it is a map in my school made by the school itself so I have every right to use it, as I asked them already.

Thanks btw, I only noticed noise on the third one in the shadow of the hand, but as much as I tried, I could not get rid of it. Is selective blurring allowed?
I was at a great photogenic area in hellfire pass, and the all of my railroad pictures were oof, what a waste :(

I don't get it? I shot in ISO 100, and there is still noise?

I just bought a Nikon mid-range dSLR and I want to join this whole microstock thing.
Here are my three images, no noise, no artifacts, lots of going through and highest quality JPEG I could produce.
Please tell me if it's good enough because I don't want to be rejected again :P

These were all taken in Thailand, as I am Thai, constructive criticism is awesome, if they're good enough, I'll be confident to submit those three :)
