@disorderly

Thanks for you honest words!
In parts I for sure would agree with you, but something like this never happened before.
This are really different kind of batches and I just can't understand that 100% should be garbage, even if other agencies take the images.

But in one thing, you are absolutely right: We should always just look forward and always try to make better images than the last ones.

Thanks for your help!

I know what you are talking about.
We experienced that in the first some month when we started with microstock.
In he beginning we could not understand why something got rejected, because own photos always look good for yourself.
We are not in the status yet, to say that we generate excellent images, but we have some thousand accepted images online, which are not that good as this rejected ones.
There was a small amount of macro images, which I know that the lightning is not really good. There is no problem when they reject them, but not the other ones.
We are using professional studio equipment and the light settings are always checked twice.
I would not say anything if they just take around 50%, but 0% is just curious.
It more looks like Attila now is our special friend and it will stay like this in the future.  :'(

Hello around the world!

I am just a little upset, because the last batches (all together 40 images) got completely rejected.
We normally got always between 80 and 100% accepted and other agencies accepted them too.

The last review before that happened they just approved 6 of 25 images.
After that I wrote an email to submit and asked if they could have a look again to the batches.
I also asked if it could be possible that Atilla was at work, because every image was marked with poor lightning.
After some days I got an answer: "...the reviews seem appropriate -- all for image # - rejected for composition...."
Sounds somehow funny, but isn't really...

And now they rejected every image from different batches, marked at most with lightning and composition etc..
Just for info: It was a mix of people, animals, business and so on, and most inside the studio, some outdoor.

Did someone make same experience?
Is this the "regular" way how it should work?
I know that our images are not perfect, but this is curious...
