Compositionwise, you have centralised the main subject in most of your images-Too static,quaint viewpoints don't really work,and it looks as if all shots were made using tungsten and flourescent white balance,also some buildings are leaning-too wide a lens zoom setting-don't go wider than 24mm on DX(35mm FX) and your building will look vertical- I am sorry, but I cannot believe that even the most mediocre agency would have accepted any of these-they are just so bad.

You posted thumbnails so no need to comment until we see the actual shot and the 100% crop.


Actually I think we can tell why they were rejected by the thumbnails. (unless the color is altered) Color and composition except the ones refused for copyright.

The Aston Martin (I think it's that?) is editorial right? No release on some of the buildings. The power line shot is one that they have 8,000 already.

You will need to make some photos that make some statement, concept, or maybe have some commercial use.

The rules are the rules and must be followed.

Post the entire full size shot as instructed and then post the 100% crop.

If we ease up on the rules for one then everyone will want the same thing and at this size you cant really judge noise and focus so what if they are an issue shouldn't we tell the OP about it or not.

I am too new here to comment on that, but I have seen it a few times by now. I fully agree shutterstock is the benchmark. Getting in here means you will get in everywhere, not the other way around.

Not that it really matters much, but I also agree with the reviewer, weird color casts, buildings leaning, limited commercial value (meaning I have difficulty understanding how anyone could use these images to promote a service or concept) and cars are verboten!
