I've had some surprising rejections at Crestock. And some surprising accepts. While rejections are no fun (and I'm awaiting what happens to a batch that I uploaded the other night), I've learned to pick and choose which battles to fight. If I feel strongly about an image, I'll question it. If not, I'll usually just let it go, chuckle to myself (because more-than-likely the image has been accepted elsewhere), and not worry about it anymore.
As for Judge Ross, I've thought about getting a tee shirt with the grumpy photo on the front and a big "I <heart> Judge Ross" on the back.
I may not always agree with what he says, or the images that he selects, but it's oh-so-fun reading the
"Worst" section. I don't get as many sales as I'd like there...it's either their upload procedure or that scowl that keeps me returning.
