I think it's safe to say that if any of us get ANY technical rejections by SS, this day in age where they accept pretty much everything, it must ultimately mean that the pic(s) is/are really shit from a technical level.

To me he's a PHOTOGRAPHY TERRORIST

Nice composition.

Really? Difficult to see the icicles without looking at it at 100%.

Best news today! Looking forward to seeing some of your new long-exposure art

How can a buyer ever use this? They'd never buy such a simple, boring/unoriginal shot with no commercial value. Also, what's up with the caption..."put things in blank area" is called "copy space" At least you're not stealing images and actually trying to improve. Nice to see a genuine newbie contributor as was getting jaded.

Mine neither and we do have a bunch of editorials which make it less interesting for those clowns to steal. I guess the easiest are vectors.

Yes, Brazilians are generally no picnic haha Here's a good start for SS on vetting contributors! Some margin of error but a start nevertheless!

So true! Good indication of thieving ports (early images vs newer). Nobody improves in quality that quickly! Here's the idiot's pic on the left (no wonder he gave up) and for the 593035th time, they should have never accepted it. On the right, the stolen one.

Just tri harder!

I wonder how this is working in practice: https://techfinancials.co.za/2018/05/17/say-goodbye-to-copyright-infringement-with-shutterstocks-ai/ Brutally honest guy sees right through all this corporate blahblah just to please shareholders/investors.

tripod A tripod is a three-legged support for a camera. Once you try using a tripod for taking photographs, your sharp, beautiful pictures might make it hard to do without it. A tripod is a stand with three legs that holds a camera. Photographers and filmmakers use a tripod when they want the camera to be held completely still, without the slight bit of shaking that their hands might cause. Tripod comes from the Greek tripodos, "three-legged stool," made up of tri, or "three," plus podos, "foot." The word tripod was used in the past to mean anything with three legs, including vessels, stools, or tables. source: https://www.vocabulary.com/dictionary/tripod

Perhaps I'm going down a dark dystopian path, but stricter checks on contributors from Indian i.p addresses (and other "high risk locations") may help to mitigate such issues.

And you never will, you fking lazy idiot thief!

Really impressive wildlife collection. Loved seeing your work!
