Are you sure they weren't accepted? That can happen almost immediately, sometimes.

One thing that happened to me once is that a few of my submissions disappeared, so when I resubmitted them, there they were, repeated twice, ai I deleted the duplicates.

Larry, that's a million dollar question. That happens frequently. In my very personal opinion, when any photo gets rejected it's not a done deal, unless the motive is location release needed.

Share your rejections here and get feedback, keeping in mind that unless defects in the photos are obvious, everyone here has different opinions.
I've had photos that had absolutely no issues to be rejected, then on the 4th try got approved.

Be careful not to abuse that approach, since you could get ejected as a contributor.

As I mentioned previously, resubmitting 4 times is definitely "abusing that approach"!

Abuse is too big a word Jill.

Impertinent if the rejection reasons are obvious to most.

You have not experienced inconsistencies in approvals? I don't think it's the result of people in adobe being bias, or something to be taken personal. For Adobe can handle such huge volumes of daily submissions, the aid of AI is needed.

Im taking the time to replying to you, because I believe everyone wins (adobe and creators) when inconsistencies in selection or any issues in the system gets addressed.

have a great Memorial Day weekend

Btw, I am still knew here, in 5 months about a third of my sales 100+ sales have been from images that were rejected at least once, and a handful that were rejected the 3 first time.

If they haven't been accepted and added to your portfolio they're either in the "not accepted" section, or "reminder" tab.
