Default My dog Kora

Hello everybody!

Ive recently put some images on fotolia,but all images were rejected,so i have to ask you what do u think about it. I will give up with fotolia,do you have another site suggestion maybe?





The image contains one or more technical problems:


* Blurry or out of focus
* Over/Under exposure
* Framing problem
* Over or under saturated colors
* Problems with contrast
* Noise or Pixelation
* Quality of routing
* Interpolation problem

That was the answer on fotolia!

Btw,ive sent it without signature, and with a bigger resolution. Thank you for your comments!

Greetings

Hello that was my problem too with fotolia, they want really serious business there. They are very strict in their criteria. I stopped submitting my picture as well since my 5 images were rejected, 5 out of 10 were rejected and they want 10/10. That was 5 months ago I think.hehe. I just gonna improve my skills and see how it goes later on. I think with your image, you need to improve the sharpness, eliminate the blurry by adjusting your shutter speed when your dog is moving, try to improve your composition and exposure levels, focus on the eyes of your dog, and minimise the noise. I will give it a go next month again. hehe..

By the way, I think they want an image that is related with business e.g. like portrait of businessman doing something. Goodluck dont be turned down by their rejections hope it will strengthen and motivates you more in your photographic skills...

Thank you for your answer! But original image was sharper,and with shutter speeds,how could i stop the movement,when not use a speed i used it? I will not give up on photography,but for sure with fotolia,some images were rejected without any explanation and reason.

Try to use shutter priority with your dog if he is moving and make a comparison.

Out of the list you got from fotolia, these are the problems I see:

1 - Blur
2 - Under-exposure
3 - Under-saturated colors
4 - Noise

I have no experience with Fotolia, but I hear they are hard!

I think it's a bit under-exposed,seeing that the eyes are pitch black..
