would like to try the admission submission of 3 pics at iStock and freeze the account until I will be free from exclusivity.
Is there an option like at SS in which you can opt out your gallery?
Please, let me know.
Thanks

Passed the Entry application with flying colors! 9 out of 10 were accepted...only the black and white building was rejected for LCV. Maybe the best shot...
Anyway I am very happy but now have to make decisions. I am an exclusive for DT and traveling for a month in March, so won't have a lot of time to dedicate to stock in March'April. I opted out the settings on SS, so my images are not online yet. How long can I keep my account and images "frozen"? Can I be not active for 2-3 months?
Anyway, I would like to thank everybody for your support and tips!

Yes, but I hit the tab "New". So they should be the newest shots accepted...
I can see that the oldest images are technically less advanced...
too bad they do not put the date!

I will follow the force and dare the submission in the next coming days. I am learning a lot of things searching similar images already on SS.
For example, I learned that the majority of the shots of the Colosseum in Rome are RF. Only few are Editorial, the ones with some people around the image. In my pic some tourists are visible veeeery far, so I will play safe and submit it as Editorial...
I also noticed that many photo with people in the shadow and not recognizable are submitted as RF. Strange...I wouldn't risk. I think DT is more strict about people in images and they want them to be submitted as Editorial...

did it already!
Also 200%!
That is why I did not considered some of your suggestion. Some small chromatic aberration, some not really sharp image...I tried to get the best. Anyway, they are all images approved by DT in the last year, so they shouldn't be so bad, technically...am I correct? Maybe SS is stricter, but I don't see big tech faults...

Thanks JPSDK!!! I really appreciate, but I ended up sending the first 10. Couldn't wait anymore, the wait was killing me...let's see what is the outcome! I will keep you posted!
sorry to tell but you should have taken our advices, best of luck anyway
I was not clear! I followed your advice, of course! I uploaded the last list I wrote with a couple of exceptions...not sent yet, though, I am carefully tagging the images... If you have last minute tips, let me know! thanks!

Thanks, Rux. In fact this tread was to help me in choosing 10 files among that 50%!

Thanks Luis!
You are totally right about my portfolio not being very stock oriented. The thing is that I really enjoy the editorial/hand-on camera photography. I am moving the first steps in the in-studio, but it will tak years. For now I would just like to make myself visible, enjoy, learn.
I agree on many of your picks, except for the sesame cracker, the coffee and the stadium shot...I would choose others instead of those 3.
Anyway thanks a lot!

Thanks!
But in the ShutterBuzz I also found
Ask yourself: why is this newsworthy? Remember, all photos of famous landmarks or cities can be newsworthy, even if they are not taken during a particular event. You simply need to find the news angle (Example 4)

thanks guys,
I appreciate your support.
Yes, I have tried over one year ago, when I was a total beginner and got rejected 3'4 times, once I went very close acceptance tough. My concern was if they got tougher or changed application rules in the last year and half...
In the last year I improved a lot and uploaded hundreds of pics on DT, but the majority of them are editorials. So I don't know if is the case to submit images of Eifel Tower of Coliseum for the review. Also, how about food on white background? Is that fine?For sure I am not going to send brands, logos or faces...

Hi All,
I am about to try the initial 10 pics submission at SS. I am currently exclusive with DT but decided spread my wings.
I already tried the test several times over a year ago but did not succeed.
Once I went close with 6 out of 10 approved! Of course now I am a much better photographer and have 100s approved on DT.
Do you think is a good idea to submit 10 images already approved by another agency? Who is tougher, SS or DT? Did SS became stricter in the last year? Can I submit editorial and images with logos for the initial test?
A lot of questions...please give me some idea and answer!
Thanks!

that is what I will do..I am exclusive with DT, but want to try the SS test and see if they accept me. I can keep the images on hold if accepted!
