I've had so much trouble trying to get images through the review process of iStock that I'm just about to give up. The problem is that their succinct rejection messages do nothing by themselves to tell you why the image wasn't accepted.

Some like the copyright/trademark issues can be buried and take a lot of tracking down.

The only things that seem to get through are images that have an infinite DoF, Exceptional sharpness and (to my eye) better than real colour saturation. And all this for a low, low return of 0.25c.

So far I haven't made enough to warrant the effort... yet!
