Monochrome is usually not accepted. The shadows of the lamps are underexposed.

Thank you, but some of my monochrome was accepted, also I see a lot of other non-monochrome are not accepted, like very weird standards.

Yes, I've always had luck with monochrome. Until recently, at least. One was rejected today as being too similar to other submissions. Different model, different pose. I've even been creating and submitting assets that I've been holding off on, such as abstract backgrounds and wallpapers, as I felt they would be rejected since there are already gazillions of them.. They're getting accepted. Usually. I have no idea what is going on right now.
