congrats.
btw, did you put up a portfolio or collection or gallery?
if so, do you think any of those helped to make this sale?

gallery is to give your photos free, right?
do you think that is good or bad?

i am just guessing as i am a newbie, but i see in your file titles the word MILITARY.

could it be that you need Releases for those images?
 ???

A word of caution about illustrations before you go head long into attempting this aspect of stock.

You need to know right from the start, that this form of imaging is quite different than actual photography.
On the other hand it can be rewarding, and very productive financially if, and this is a BIG "IF", you are good.
I mean really good.


what about mixed media, not vector but
photo with photoshop design,etc..

in the category, it 's either PHOTO or ILLUSTRATION

what are our chances if you submit something like that?
will they reject?

iStockPhoto.com / Re: The curse of overfiltering
« on: April 13, 2008, 12:59 »
Over filtered is the generic term used by reviewers to mean:

"I think you modified this image (I don't know how, and I may be wrong) and I don't like the way it looks"



miz , you're a genius  ;D

strangely enough that happened to me a lot ::)
the ones i thought were improved and snappy, were the ones they rejected for over filtering.

i checked my accepted shots and most of them were unfiltered, other than perharps a little bit of adjustment to brighten or darken , but only a tiny bit.

a good point to remember. thx :)

StockXpert.com / Re: Communication of StockXpert
« on: April 13, 2008, 12:54 »
Do these people contact you about whether or not images are accepted/declined?I submitted 50 images, and I think 44 were accepted but I haven't received any communication from these folks and was just wondering if this is normal?

to be honest, i would rather have them not email me and then i go see that they accepted 44 of 50 submitted  :-*

btw did you check your email option. with other sites, there are boxes that you tick if you want email for approval,etc.
maybe StockXpert has that too. just wondering.

I do not think so cause many of them has been accepted on other sites. Should not I upload in large batches? It seems that some site gives whole batch to one reviewer.

General Stock Discussion / Re: Inspection process itself?
« on: April 13, 2008, 09:22 »
agreed RJ,
but then again..
good composition
good color
if you look at some of the featured photos, that too is HIGHLY subjective.

some looked extremely OVER-PROCESSED
and off focus  and even over blase ;)

one sometimes wonder how these were even selected.
eg. one judge even selected a squirrel as BEST PHOTO?
 ???

I've had a few of these. It is usually as a result of the strobe being pointed too directly at the subject, creating shadows in the background (my fault, I know). But after Photoshopping the shadows out and re-submitting, most were accepted. Hope this helps...

ya, me too like anon and a.k.a tom,
and i get "this is a snapshot..." 
must be the same guy for all of you.

but at BigStock, the reviewer actually took the trouble to advise me to forgo using flash as it "creates ugly shadows".

now that' s what i call someone who really wants to work with the photographer(s), not drive them away.

Adobe Stock / Re: What is up with Fotolia??
« on: April 12, 2008, 19:11 »
I had 8 of 9 refused for the "Fotolia sells photos to use in brochures and magazines...yours is not stock..." reason. Prior I haven't had any problems (97% acceptance). But they're still in my top 3 best agencies so I have no plans on stopping uploads. Try uploading at a different time of day when another reviewer is at the helm...Atilla must sleep SOMETIME.  ;)

maybe Atilla needs a holiday ...
somewhere there's lots of jaws in the water, so he doesn't come back to work lol

then everyone will be happy with fotolia again ! ;D

Yes, j2k, it would be editorial if you don't remove. 

This is one that has always bugged me.  How can you call it a Toronto Skyline if you remove Air Canada from the Centre, CN from the Tower, Skydome or Rogers or whatever it is now from the Dome, BMO from the tallest tower????  It's just not a Toronto skyline anymore - it's just a stock photo and "Toronto" should be keyword spamming ;)

Although - keeping today's names on these buildings is one way of dating your photo - they buy and sell naming rights to these places all the time.


pixart please clarify,  you mean to say that your toronto skyline you have to remove all the logos on the bldgs and you cannot use the keywords toronto ,ontario, canada ?

if so, i need to remove one of my nightscapes of montreal and cleanup the neons too. shoot! ???
