Not very educational

Another Wednesday, another round of 80% iStock rejection. This time, too much "filtering" and noise reduction. The last time, it was too little. I'm giving up on exclusivity. I'm going to sign up for 2-3 other sites and make iStock a secondary upload site at best. I am pretty confident that their reviewers are overzealous. There was an article I read the other day that said the reviewers had been instructed to look for a major reason to accept an image, not to reject it. Load of crap, if you ask me.

Anything I upload to them from now on is coming straight out of the camera with absolutely zero modifiers. It's like being told in the writing world, you have to submit your first drafts, and do no editing on your work. Crazy!
