Hi Everyone,
I see this topic has been brought up before, but its been awhile. I was just going to respond to an old post, but the post itself suggested starting a new topic.
Anyways.... I've been accepted to both SS and IS which I consider two of the more difficult agencies to get on with. In addition, I have images up on BS, FT and DT(my largest portfolio). One can find the links below.
I'd very much appreciate ;D if someone could browse through my stuff and recommend some images I should upload for my second try at StockXpert. I get to resubmit after April 4th. I know this is probably a pain in the butt, but I really don't want to get rejected again and I'm just now sure what the heck they are looking for.
Thanks!

How many they need? Anyway I'll suggest 2 just for fun.

The problem with your initial acceptance COULD be because of diversity. It seem you are a good photographer after had a look at your DT port. But you need more different subject/category. Your dog pics are really good, but you won't pass if you don't show skills with different subjects. Forget about all houses, they get rejected for property release each time at StockXpert. Except if you have the releases for them
Good luck!

Vonkara ~ Thanks a bunch for taking the time to recommend a couple of photos to submit. I don't recall how many they asked for, but I guess I'll know on or after April 4th. Thanks for the inormation regarding the property releases houses. I'll see what I can do about diversifiying, though I don't have a lot of options: 1.) I don't live in a really fancy home, 2.) my children are all grown up 3.) I don't have any grandchildren, yet. and 4.) I don't have high class dishes or dishware to show off food images on.

I love the colts. Problem is .... you should use only ONE animal picture. Or, the fish picture might work.
Good luck.

you could try the dog but instead of that background, have a white background to isolate it. also get some cute or funny poses. check out the magazines where you find dogs, and see the type i mean. certain dog pictures tend to sell better than others. naturally closeups are good, if well done.
something you can check would be dog food. the way they pose the dog .
imagine what a buyer would want , if they need to put it on the box of dog food.
hope this helps.
