I'm one of the folks on the SF bandwagon, hoping that they become a major player in microstock because I think they offer the buyers a refreshing, simple, no B.S. way to buy images, while the competition is going the other way with overly complicated and bug-ridden search engines, increasing prices, and wildly varied price points.

That said, I don't expect SF to ever make a dent in this business if they were to do things exactly like every other company. If that means that they are a little more demanding with image reviews, more likely to reject stuff, take a bit longer to review applications, reject more applications, etc., then I'm fine with that.

If SF just did everything the same way the other companies do, there would be folks in here whining about how SF looks just like every other microstock company.

I say SF should just keep doing what they're doing. Have at it, Peter. I think you should reject more images, mine included. I don't expect you to accept some of the older stuff that I've managed to slide past reviewers elsewhere. I'd rather see SF have 1 million really strong images than 7 million of the exact same stuff other companies already have. Especially when it comes to older stuff. Anything from 2009 and earlier should be rejected.

This is where I stand.  I think they have a chance to become a moderate player to maybe even become the BIG 5 (as opposed to the big four).  Time. Learn their system.  Work with them on your images rejections, but first remember to zoom in at 100 percent.  I had some old images rejected for out of focus and when I opened up the image they were slightly soft.  In the old days that was acceptable.  Today it's not.  So image you have that sell will today may be older images that aren't perfect, so they will get rejected by today's standards.  I didn't bother re-uploading those rejected images.
