Why was my image rejected?

Last updated over 5 years ago

At the moment, in order to be able to review as many images as we can, we can't provide the exact reasons for why a particular image was rejected.
Here are a few common reasons for rejecting images:

  •  Image quality (focus, resolution, pixelation, exposure)
  •  Poor framing
  •  Copyright / Trademark issues
  •  Lack of commercial viability
  •  Some images require a model/property release
  •  Image includes watermarks, date stamps or other obstructions to commercial use
  •  Image is identical, or nearly identical to another image you submitted
