Hey so this is my second attempt and I would like to get some feedback before I submit. They are all pretty much isolation attempts and I have yet to make the background pure white. I shot it in raw+jpeg(L) and these are all the jpeg files and the 100% crops. I submitted last year and not one single picture was accepted. But since then I have learnt a lot about stock photos and I just want to know if im on the right track. Thanks in advanced :)

I also think they like to see some range, you have all isolations on white, or what should be isolations on white. +1 on needing to get the backgrounds white.

I would maybe keep a couple of the more sharp ones(fixing the background of course) and shoot something different for the rest.

but you need to do that first before submitting in here, sometimes you won't get that right either, I didn't on my first few tries and I am glad I showed them fully edited so I could learn and fix my mistakes.
