Question

Similar picture, rejection again.

As suggested, I searched for these images and found no similar ones, especially the diversity image. I am feeling like this is a waste of time. I did have 15 AI images accepted this week. This image has five good fingers and is clear and sharp. And was accepted at two other sites. Should I put these images back up, stating there are no similar images? Could it be the yellow line that defines the baseball field?

    Why are my photos showing up in the rejected images but then also showing up in my portfolio? I don't understand the disconnect.

    Were the initially rejected and then resubmitted and approved?

    No, they were never resubmitted. They are just showing up in rejected images and also showing up in my profile with no resubmission.

    A famous sports photographer once told me that static portraits are less successful than live action shots.

    Motion creates tension, which adds visual & emotional energy to a scene.

    I just created a boy skateboarder with motion. We'll see how that goes.

    I made a mistake. The image of the black-and-white girl was accepted. I revamped the two black girls, removed the yellow line, added a full baseball field and copy space, and resubmitted. 

    We'll see if that works.

    Hey ​@jodij28273193 

    Congratulations on having a 14 images accepted!!! 

     

    the lines and the plate in the baseball field are off in the background.

    Good idea to go with vertical.

    cheers

    Thanks, I will take away the yellow line and add copy space. I will also add bases. I'm not sure what you call them. I hope the word bases is right, or I'll say make it look like a real baseball field. I really just wanted to highlight the people. But I see copy space is very important.

    I suspect the moderators have no control whatsoever over similar content rejections. So stating as much (Where? In the title? In the keywords?) would make no difference. Quality-wise, you’re on the right track, but these need something more, not the least of which is some breathing room. I recently had 17 of 17 women-in-sports images accepted, all with ample copy space.

    I keep forgetting the copy space, but now that you put it in the thread, I won't forget it. Thank you.
