Leaf, totally agree with you. For 3 cent I will write jus 3 letters for snapshoot "snp".
In our hard and true life they pick reason from drop down menu witch is not perfect reason but we have to deal with it, and think what is wrong with my images not what is wrong with reviewer.

As a buyer (also photographer) I mostly buy at istock and some at dramstime. Istock is preferred because they have what others don't have. For example I need Egyptian image of god Osiris and I find best images on Istock. Quality is best on istock and with zoom viewer you can see for yourself with all details.

Next, istock has best search engine for multiple word guess. Also because my english isn't well enough it search also synonimes.

I hope that my reasons help you for what you need it for.

irfan!

Well there is no problem with reviewers. In fact only problem is each agency business orientation. Every one of us taking different pictures and motives so beyond technical quality their is acceptance quota for each theme.

My ratios are in last 2 years (not counting first year when I skill myself in technical issues)

IS - 70%
SS - 99%
StockXpert - 40%
Fotolia - 50%
Dreamstime - 82%

So every one of us after we solve technical issues we need to know what kind of image they need and how much. You must now that sometimes because of business informations they don't tell you exact reason for rejection, they told most nearest reason for rejection. That is  the same in all firms.

But sometimes you can do something about that reason of rejection. Use your imagination in naming images (that helps a lot at dreamstime and IS) and be specific and clear with useful informations in description (SS) and with fotolia don't upload same theme batches. Upload 2 by 2 images of the same location every week and you will have bigger acceptance.

Well that is from my experience.
