I don't tolerate any reviewers rejections.....I find out who they are and threaten their lives.
I tell them I just got out of prison on parole, and say "Don't make me have another body"

God * reviewers. making bubble gum wages.

So after resubmitting i got 10/11 accepted, yesterday result was 0/11.  So i guess some reviewers just don't care about their job.

Glad I read this thread.  Thought it was just me.  Just resubmitted the 13 of a batch of 18 that were rejected. 

It still amazes me that some new or premenstrual reviewer can run amok for days on a site rejecting hundreds or thousand of acceptable images, with no oversight until contributors start a forum thread.

Glad Jon has stepped in and sorted this out...

We work hard - we are at their peril!
We cant win em all - we wish we could but believe we should!!

I had a couple rejected for composition a few weeks ago that are selling fine everywhere else. One is on the front page rotation at bigstock I thought that was kind of funny.

Trebuchet, I'm not making fun of your English, but the message makes little sense to me.

You say you had ten rejected from the first batch of ten and the next batch you included the accepted? Which were then accepted? If they were rejected how could there be anything accepted?

Maybe it's me and it's late at night. 

Did you submit the same images three times? Once accepted, then second time rejected, and then with the note, they were accepted? So isn't your portfolio filling with duplicates?

Doesn't SS get kind of angry that you are consuming their time, running tests and resubmitting accepted and rejected images, multiple times? I'd worry about being banned from the site.

I forgot about this thread and submitted a new batch tonight. I was going to wait until the all clear had sounded. Oh well, I'm getting ready for rejection.

I hope you are kidding

I have heard that you are not alone, others employ your methods.  They have ways of routing out cloaked reviewer identities. 

Inside stool pigeons etc. Then they make life hell for the hapless reviewers. This cuts way down on rejections

God  reviewers. making bubble gum wages.

These stories sound just...well, kind of unreal. Shutterstock on the whole appears to have pretty consistent review process, some of the rejections are (or used to be) a bit unjustified - but that was mostly due to sometimes a bit cryptic reason for rejection. But for the most part - the rejection is described well enough to have a second look at the picture - and to start wondering how I could have ovelooked this before ?  Most of the rejected images I was able to fix and resubmit - and they were accepted. I also learned to pay attention to things which the reviewer may be looking at, and to fix them before submission. Works for me.

This one was rejected for composition

Please tell me how to fix it 

Thanks, I'll remember that for next time 

Yes, I agree with that fotografer - the driftwood is a distraction.

I like the driftwood its a little different! I guess its just a matter of personal taste. I have a similar shot without driftwood already in my port. Also have a tighter crop. I think it will sell ok over time. I actually prefer this shot from a lower angle.  I was kind of surprised when Bigstock put it in the front page rotation. Thanks for your comments.

I'm curious about this discussion.  I understand people may think they image could be better, but is it reasonable to have it rejected?  Colors are beautiful, exposure seems perfect, assuming that focus and noise are good, why reject it?

Right! and thank you! I think every picture in my portfolio could be improved in some way as I am my worst critic. This particular rejection made me kind of throw my arms up the air and say what! Normally I agree with reviewers as I feel they are more than fair with me. Hit me with noise, focus, artifacts, exposure issues, filtering, fringing, but composition? If it was cropped to tight I would understand that. I know there were a bunch of people that had similar problems a couple weeks ago, I just thought this was a good example of a bad review.
