Hi, I'm on Fotolia since august. Ive 200 images in my portfolio but only...10 downloads and few views. I don't understand what is the problem. If my works are not interesting or if fotolia is in crisis.
I'm italian so I like Fotolia for speak in the forum but I don't sell anything!

Nothing better than deviantart? I know that there're good artists there but it's too dispersive...

I tried this question on "general stock discussions" but I had not answers so I try here. I have your same question but fot illustrations (no vectors). Is ClipartOf good for illustration like this (to give you an example...):  and vectorstock is only for vectors? I love Shutterstrock and I feel very well there but...only there. I'd like to find another good illustration's stock. p.s. Like you can see I'm not english

 You're very nice. Why don't you want to take photos? You go in Tuscany. I hope you can visit Siena and Florence but expecially Siena....one of my favourite place in europe. I love, love, love Siena, it's magic  . I'm further north, I live in Emilia Romagna between Florence and Venice. So, have a nice trip and see you when you came back home.

Well, I'm an illustrator and I prefer "artwork" to pure microstock subjects. I find very well on SS but I'm also looking for a place that is interesting expecially in illustrations. I think that IS doesn't love this kind of work. I put some works here to give you an example, I think that they're good works but it isn't the kind of work that IS is waiting for. They prefer a simple paper with a frame...may be a frame...may be, isn't it? I'd like center myself on shutterstock and on another site that is interesting in illustration...only, I don't know what! I see a lot of links here, is there a microstock more oriented than others on "artistic" illustrations? To give you same example:    p.s. Always sorry for my english

SS rejected me some abstract works and texture (I'm not happy for texture, I've sold a gold texture more that 36 times in few weeks ) for "limited commercial value" so I think that it's normal reject this work. Mine was beauty too but, you know, how many abstract works there're on SS? Too many.So don't take it bad. It's a normal rejection.

Really Herg, show your images here: http://submit.shutterstock.com/forum/I understand you can be confused and here there're great photographers that can help you with your first submission and tell you an opinion about each photo.

Quality is real important but they are interested in commercial value too. For example when I had my examination I had 3 rejected images (all abstract works) and the reason was "limited commercial value". Currently I have 90-100% accepted images but when they refused a work it's often for "limited commercial value" and always they're abstract works or texture but I'm an illustrator, I think that can be different for you so I'd like to hear a photographer opinion.

I'm afraid about "limited commercial value" (especially the last two) but I hope in other opinions for you.

I think that on SS forum there're some ex moderators.
Good luck, I'm sure that you'll be approved next time.

It seems like they have hired new reviewers. I got a feeling that blanket rejections happen from time to time at every agency. One day they accept most of your images then next day 100% rejections. I am sending same stuff to every agency, except IS cause they do not support FTP. In result I cannot tell a single photo that is accepted universally at every agency. What a great way to randomize my portfolio :-) Last year I experienced waves of rejections at 123RF, DT, FT and right now I got problems at SS. Agencies just have too many images.
I agree with you, really there isn't a realistic reason for a lot of rejections, only the agency is looking for another kind of subject. I'm an illustrator so I can give you a technical opinion but I like your photoes, especially the first one but maybe it's too abstract for SS. I think that in this moment they are looking for not aboundant categories and your tulips or your wild flowers, for example (even if they're nice photoes), aren't a good choise to attempt the submission, there're too many flowers...

I have tried posting direct from my PC to here but it gives me img italics and no way to browse to my folder.
Have your Shutterstock uploads on IS? If it's so you can copy the image adress to upload here (right click on the image: copy address and then here  but, of course, someone alse it's able to explain better than me.

Well, I was waiting for this thread since some days because my earnings are very strange. I've sold a lot only on Shutterstock and, more or less, nothing on the other agencies so I'm thinking to remain only on SS. This is about Fotolia: - 80% Dreastime: = Shutterstock:............... + 127% (!!!  ) and what can you tell me? p.s. Always, sorry for my terrible english.

Hi, I'm here too (3d graphic works,digital painting, rasters, photomanipulation, vectors...everything ).

Have I got to post all these images to a host so they can be viewed by people here ? Having said that, surely everyone's opinion will be different to the admin at SS.
Where do I post them ?
p.s. you can post your works here.

Hi, I was accepted at first attempt on shutterstock and I sell very well there (I love Shutterstock  ) but I can tell "ridiculous rejections" and "soul destroyed" about IS. I've tried a lot of time my submission but they don't want my works even if Fotolia, dreamstime and shutterstock accept and sell them very well...What can I do? Nothing. Each microstock agengy has its personal standard and what is good for one often isn't good for another one. the criteria are subjective, I'm sure about this. It' s a personal agengy choise it doesn't mind that your work isn't good...maybe they are looking for something different (different subjects, for exemple). p.s. I hope you can understand me, I'm not english
