I have a comment/suggestion. I am a "newbie" and have had, so far, all of my pictures rejected. I'm not going to whine and gripe about my pictures being rejected, I can certainly understand if they aren't up to the standard that you are looking for here. However, I have noticed several of my images have been rejected simply for "composition". Again, I can certainly understand if these aren't something that would sell, and I'm not asking for another review of my pictures. But I do think your system for rejecting images for "composition" could be better. With all of my pictures that got flagged for "composition", it seemed like the real issue was they simply weren't what you were looking for in a picture.

So, my suggestion is this: perhaps you could be a little clearer as to what is wrong with the composition. Is it just not something you think would sell? Are there distracting objects in the picture? Does the reviewer just not like the photo? Was it poorly edited? Should it be cropped?

Anyway, just my two cents. Hope it is of some value :D

I agree with jrcooke3039 and thinks it would help everybody including Crestock as a site and the contributors if the rejections were a bit more specific. Maybe you there could be some main categories and then some under categories the the reviewer could use, in the same way as we do when we categorize our images in the upload process. I know for sure that it would help me to know more about the reasons for rejection than a key word or frase.
