Shutterstock - "Title" rejection

(1/2) > >>

maco0708:
This is something new for me: rejection due to title.

Here is a very small thumbnail of the image:


The title is: Raw Walnuts Background
The description is: Walnuts still in shell right after they were collected from the ground (not washed, dirt and plant debris visible)

Here is the rejection reason: Title--Titles may not contain camera name, web addresses, or other unnecessary information.

So obviously they are talking about unnecessary information. I actually think that they meant the description instead of the title. I only write a long description to fulfill the stupid requirement at BigStock (7 words minimum).

So, what to do? Should I resubmit and cut the title and description to an absolute minimum?

Have you guys ever had this rejection???

P.S. I am not mad at SS, just a little surprised that they have a problem with the title.

vonkara:
Bad rejection unless RAW is a copyrighted word and I think not, because this word is used by all companies. EX NEF RAW ... for Nikon. NEF is probably copyrighted but not RAW.

peep:
I think that stupid editor thought RAW to be type of the file instead of "raw" in common language...

fullvalue:
Shuttertock picks up the description as the title. 

Peter:
you tried to make minimum 7 words and you made 19 words. hhh. I think there is unnecessary information issue here.

yes, you can resubmit, with corected title, and make a note to editor that you fixed the problem.
