IMHO, nonsense question. Beginners are normally upset with their refusals because they find their quality perfect. If they contribute for more than a half year, they have probably some success in selling their assets.

It depends on who you ask. 

  • Beginners have more rejections because they lack experience.  They can't see & correct their mistakes before submission.  
  • Experienced Contributors rarely fall below 75% to 90% acceptance rate. 

 

Does that help you?

However, as there are thousands of photographs selling, there is a HUGE difference between being accepted to sell and selling.

This is why it is important to submit what the market wants. Submitting sunset photos may indeed be accepted if they meet the quality standards, but selling them is a different ballgame!
