dabobabo,

Not stock material can be used by the inspector for different reasons, mostly if:

- The picture looks to much like a snapshot, with sharp shadows and no basic concept.
- The inspector finds that the image have very limited usage.
- The picture is too edited using different artistic filers in Photoshop or similar. The buyer will add these filters himself if needed.
- The picture has a very specific concept (for instance a man wearing a dress while standing on water with a sign saying "need a drink?" - this is just way to specific to sell as stockphotography)

I don't know exactly how your photo looked like - but a good rule is to make sure that the file can be used in many different ways and is of good quality.
