Rejections in StockFresh

I am slowly uiploading to SF, trying images in a series, then sending the others when the first get approved.

Yesterday's uploads were however a disappointment. Many of the continuations in a series were rejected for "please upload better quality images" or "lack of detail".

Has anyone tried yet to contact support for rejections?

This is one of the "lack of detail" rejections, in this case the first in the series:

I can see the image as being regarded as "lack of detail". If the contrast was upped a fraction or the exposure lowered a fraction, it might work better. But to be honest they are clutching at straws as the image in my opinion, is of more than enough quality. It doesn't make sense for me to upload to sites which don't yet have good earnings, if they have a high reject rate. I like StockFresh and they will probably be a big site one day. I think I have something like 17 images there, but I'm hardly motivated to keep uploading to them as they reject so much of what I send them.

The lighting is quite frankly, dull. For example this http://www.istockphoto.com/stock-photo-11055494-homemade-cookie-on-white-overhead-xxxl.php
has color, texture and contrast.

Yes I had experience with rejections on Stockfresh. First one was solved by them accepting the images were rejected by mistake (something with a MR). But then, they are really paranoid about copyright infringements. They even rejected a whole series with a kid, studio shots, because they spotted a small barely seen embroidery on boy's t-shirt, somewhere (not readable or some logo). Needless to say that I never noticed it - all the other stock sites have this series. They must have missed it too.

Ad that to the fact that I'm at $18.50 with them since a VERY long time now and it's kinda clear - no more uploading.

In your case I'm afraid, I have to say the rejection was completely fair. I would have rejected that too.

qwerty:
my experience with rejections at stockfresh is reseasonable. Approval rate is about the same as approval rate at Dreamstime. The odd one goes through that others haven't accepted and the odd one is rejected.
