BSP is a nice steady trickle of sales and a regular pay-out, but it never seems to speed up, your experience? SY

It's a nice steady trickle.  I did really well one month, but sales are very consistent otherwise.

I have very regular, reliable sales from Bigstock. They have been steadily increasing over the last few months.

no real increase for me, maybe new pricings will bring some extra in december.

They are 2-3 % of my sales, so not really worth talking about. They did have 77% growth in November after really bad October.

They were my first payout (which their threshold is very low) but it was my first and sales continue to come.  I like them.

i've just this one rejected on bigstock, beleve me or not:

(http://69.90.174.247/photos/display_pic_with_logo/64260/64260,1197844432,1.jpg)

 Reason: Poor composition or cropped subject - many times NOT cropping subject makes photo more useable generally :-) thanks


what makes me happy in this reason is a smile. like this non-professional novice rejector really feels he said or made something funny.

anybody here knows an address on BigStock where i should write a complain about this smart smiling guy?

Мне кажется, это смайлик у них в стандартном ответе забит.

Ehm, what do you mean? SY

: Talya December 18, 2007, 06:11:54 PM
Ops.... Sorry, I replied in Russian.

I think this smile is a part of standard comment. Nothing personal.

@Talya
;D Happened to me before  ;D One time I wrote a long post for the German forum only to realize that I had written all in English ;-) SY

@Lev
I think Talya is right, the smiley is in the standard rejection included, as far as I remember. Shows how few rejections you get that you didn't remember that  ;D  ;D  ;D SY

I just get some strange rejections


Example #1:   [[Exposure
(http://69.90.174.249/photos/display_pic_with_logo/9174/9174,1197146840,2.jpg)
What wrong with exposure  ???


Example #2:  Blurriness, sorry.. a little too blurry
(http://69.90.174.251/photos/display_pic_with_logo/9174/9174,1197148146,2.jpg)
This shallow DOF image made with blade sharpness macro lens
Sharpness in the right place  :-\


Example #3:   [[Exposure problem - too dark
(http://69.90.174.253/photos/display_pic_with_logo/9174/9174,1197532005,1.jpg)
Is it to dark? I have calibrated my displays. On both this picture looks good.
May be inspector don't know about calibration?


About 20 rejections like that  :o

Sorry Andrey, but your links don't work, information about how to post images/ links in the forum you can find Here (http://photographicfreedom.co.uk/forum/index.php?topic=337.0) and I fear you can't post images that have been rejected as they are only visible to you but not public. Hope that helps, SY
