Title: This image has styling issues. ??
Post by: Petr Toman on February 26, 2014, 06:01

Hi everyone, I never saw this as Rejection Reason "This image has styling issues."

Any idea what they mean? Is it they dont like eggs together with flowers or? Or that the flowers are not organized?

You have some very good and well thought out images in your portfolio but these don't speak to me. I'm sorry but I agree with rejection they look a little bit thrown together.

I don't see the connection between roses(?) and easter eggs. Maybe it's a regional thing that I don't understand...?

Well the idea was "spring - flowers" "easter-eggs". Yeah maybe it should be separated.

Or... you could use some spring flowers... like tulips... (I'm no botanist, so take this with a grain of salt :))

I find the ribbons on the eggs to be distracting too. The eggs are not hanging so the ribbons are not necessary. Real dyed eggs would be stronger, along with spring flowers as already mentioned IMO.

Thanks for the feedback, I appreciate it.

Next time more preparation will be wise :) this was shot in studio when we had only few minutes left, so that's maybe why :)

Not a rejection I've seen before - maybe its new I would expect them to use "poor composition" if they didn't like them for the reasons given above.
