Rejections and approvals at PhotoShelter


Well, I got an update from PhotoShelter. A few more pictures were approved and a several more were declined. Now everyone says, don't take rejections personally. I completely understand and agree. As a an amateur I welcome any feedback I get.

Here's my gripe with PhotoShelter, for the most part you get no explanation. I don't expect them to make me the world's best photographer, I don't expect feedback of "overexposed 1/2 stop, should've moved subject to lower 1/3 of frame and set whitebalance to 4357K". What would be nice would be simple categories such as "technical issues, not marketable, or complete crap". That would be great in helping me target my materials for PhotoShelter. The more experience I get, the more I'll be able to guess at what is/isn't on target. When push comes to shove its always a subjective call too so again, I don't take it personally.

Oh, and in case you were wondering, the inset picture, declined.
