Newest Review: ... highly selective, and while I am capable of taking high quality images, the time spent setting up these images for the financial return is just not worth it. I have found Istockphoto to reject stuff that I sell a lot of on other microstock sites - I find it odd though that they have accepted images that other sites don't sell as many of, yet these same images seem to sell on Istockphoto. Istockphoto to me really is a conundrum. I can't stand their upload system - one at a time!
