Spank spammers and trolls. I have a spare Tomahawk missile in my garage but I'll save that one for the moment I know the exact geopos of HeroTurko.

I love how people come on this forum acting all professional and with such high standards!! This is a microstock forum where people are dying for a payout!!! (k, not all but a lot!) Im sure that more than half of SS contributors would not be classified as professionals.

To the OP... do you go into elementary school playgrounds and challenge kids playing basketball? dunking on them or blocking their shots... Screaming "IN YOUR FACE!!!!" cmon.... just ridiculous post

Why don't you show us your magnificent amazing wonderful portfolio?

Why I'd want to do that ?!
If I had a large port based on diverse niches I wouldn't mind sharing . Mine's still very small exploiting majorly one not very well covered niche . So , pardon my selfishness but I'm not sharing . But judging by your tone you sure sound like someone with extraordinary abilities in the field of microstock . And please next time use "show me" not "show us" . You're not MSG
The not very well covered niche of macro credit card shots?

Thanks, that's what I was laughing at on my side, but didn't write. Oh, secret not well covered niche, I can't show you my work.

When it's not top secret, need to know basis anymore "eggshell" come back and show us your work, instead of coming into the forum guns blazing, shouting about the rejection, complaining about someone else's shots that were accepted, and you forgot to put your pants on and load your guns. In other words, show US your work and you'll have much more credibility and more people will tend to debate with you about the issues.

I suppose in defense I get pissed off when I get a NCV for a shot, especially when I have similar shots already with that place, which are my best sellers there? On the agency side, my best sellers aren't selling that well, so maybe they are right?

I do have my personal solution, which is, blow it off and hope that they will sell someplace else and the dumbass place that rejected them, is losing business. If they sell someplace else, I get the satisfaction that the reviewer or policy was wrong. But it's not worth getting all excited about, because some reviewers are clueless and working for 5c an image, not because they have talent or are highly qualified. Consider the source of the rejection and you'll feel much better Eggshell.

The credit cards serie is an attempt to diversify my port , nothing secret about that niche . Otherwise your judgment is pretty sound

I don't think it's a fair comparison but that's a funny image . For a moment I thought seeing Dwight from The Office

eggshell is right, that's not a fair comparison. Such a comparison would assume that eggshell was better then the kids on the playground.

I have no idea why you chose to bash some individuals portfolio just because you got a rejection. And you are not even showing YOUR rejected image.
BTW I can't see anything special (either way) in the portfolio you linked. I think there are many saleable images there.

Now I know more than enough about your quality standards .

This is not about my quality standards, it's about the customers' quality standards. I'm pretty sure the person with the portfolio has sold some images.

Why don't you show us your magnificent amazing wonderful portfolio?

how about you btw

Eggshell........ post your rejected stuff on SS in the critique section and we will take a look But, If you do be prepared for the truth. None of us are going to tell you what you want to hear But what you may need to hear. a lot of us there were reviewers so we have a pretty good eye on getting accepted. Also pls dont show us a link to anyones port as examples. Thats not cool, always ask permission to do that.

No. I'm not the one bashing other peoples' portfolios publicly. Neither am I the one nagging about agencies rejecting some very special credit card shot that I think is good but the reviewers don't (and the others cannot tell their opinion because the OP don't show the image).

eggshell = molka?

markrhiggins · « **Reply #59 on:** October 31, 2010, 17:59 »

molka and eggshell? Is it a serious relationship? This could become a dating site. Ideally suited to each other. Link to my portfolio if you want. It is also crap

I got my first "Limited commercial value" rejection today on a credit card super macro shot . Looking through the newest images on that same subject I stumbled upon this port - http://www.shutterstock.com/results.mhtml#page=1&gallery_id=434212

I was amazed by the poor photography - lighting , composition ( the lack of ) , subject choice ...
These are pretty recent submissions , not some relics from the dawn of microstock . These are not 10-15 accidently approved shots . There's no way this port was built going through the normal approval process . What's the point of raising the quality bar if this kind of work still finds its way in agency's catalog ?

I say relax... move on... and take more photographs. If you are expecting consistency or fairness.... forget it. Reviewers are not machines.
