Same Series, Same DSLR Scan — Different Review Results?

Thank you for your response. I also think that both images should have been rejected, so my guess is that the difference might be due to different reviewers. I’m aware that there are some issues with the white balance and the noise reduction, but these photos are accepted on other platforms such as iStockphoto, and they actually sell reasonably well there. There may be buyers who specifically look for this kind of scan from old film, since digital cameras were not yet widespread at that time. Thank you.

Assets are randomly assigned to the next available Reviewer. A series of assets is often divided among multiple reviewers. 

Although quite noisy, the horizontal asset is better composed and contains more scenic elements. This has greater commercial possibilities for Stock customers. 

The vertical asset is not well composed. It's crowded, and the foreground elements are clipped. 

Hope that helps.

Both are noisy and have a peculiar white balance, and both should have been rejected.

Both are very muddy scans and in need of exposure and color correction. The vertical should probably not have been accepted as well
