These are the ones that were rejected

Unbelievable, man;/

If the first submission judging from the thumbnails isn't really what you're capable of, the second the third look awesome. The "try to impress us" sentence really feels like bullshitting to me.

I decided I won't wait this time. I'll be able to submit the test batch again in around 2 days and I know I'm going to fail. S++t happens, but nobody's going to make jokes on my work. And iStock really seems to do so with new submitters;/

The first image was an attempt to do something in the style they were asking for.

Who knows you might make it in this time...fingers crossed.

Argh, I was lured into uberjoy this morning;) Got the mail from iStock regarding the test and saw only the first half in the mail client. 2 approved... then scrolling down I saw the third rejected. I hanged myself by the balls;))

Guess how much I have to wait now to reapply? 90 days;) Does anyone know somebody at iStock how can be bribed for a beer or something?

[nicemonkey]

I know the feeling well!!!! You get the e-mail, you read it, first image passed, second image passed, third image...and then they kick you square between the eyes...failed!

Only 67 days left for me! before I get another kick between the eyes!

) I have a love/hate relationship with iStock, so no grudges included in the package. Again, no "I" in Stock for at least three months as of now. No surprises;)

p.s.: But thinking as a reviewer, damn, couldn't he had just approved the third one and make everyone happy? The images approved don't go directly to their collection, so I would have to upload them once again and wait for the regular inspection. Arghhh... for one dicky image I have to wait 90 shiny days;)
p.p.s.: Man, we're gonna make it next time. And we buy ourselves a pina colada when we do so, agreed?

[nicemonkey]

Pina coladas all round next time!
