Just to make sure, you didn't send it in with the border, did you? Pictures with borders are automatically rejected at 1X ... |

Ex-database-ursula-thinking kicks in: How can you have "about 12"? |

It was without the border - don't know what size they usually prefer, but it was about 800px on the wide side. Not a high resolution.

Good (about the no border). 850 px max for height, 950 px max for width, so in this case you could have gone a little bigger. Bigger usually is better (except for poor photos, where smaller hides a multitude of disasters). Why not high resolution? |

'cause I'm guessing, as I didn't go back to count the actual number :-) |

I was just going to ask what people thought of the new look. I've always found 1x to be aesthetic pleasing... dark and rich is how I would have described it. The white caught me off guard at first, but after browsing a bit the scheme is growing on me. It feels clean and the images seem to stand out more than the words. I've been seeing more of the white backgrounds on livebooks and viewbook sites and I like it there as well. The white background reminds me of a magazine page or modern museum wall.
Oh.. and since this is a 1x Reject Club, I'm 3 for 3 with rejects but everybody has seen the images here before so I won't post them yet again. I'll keep trying though because I enjoy the work that I see there. |

5 accepted, 28 rejected.
It looks like they've changed their system, but in the old system, I found the rejection explanations random and sometimes bizarre.
There's definitely little connection between doing well here and being accepted there. My four best scores here were rejected:
   
FWIW, here's me over there.

Ok, first off...
O. M. G.!!!!!!!!!!!!!
I've gotten so used to being rejected I didn't even check to see if it had been published!! Thank you all for bringing it to my attention. What a fair and fitting end to the DQ saga :-)
Secondly, I can't actually tell. I uploaded a total of 20 images, but I sent a lot of them to critique without sending to screening. So, because it makes a better story, yes, it was # 13 :-) |

| I just posted my future latest rejection at 1X. Now to sit back and wait for the official denial. |

Kind of expected (they are clearly saying they don't want boats and sunrises :).
Anyway - I was waiting for an email info, but there was none. I just noticed the rejection now, when I posted my kayak abstract. |

I think they have by now too many good images and too few ways of selling them.
PS I really like your photo! :) |
