I submitted a photo to Lucky Oliver, and they sent it back looking for less noise. I can see that... so I ran it through some noise reduction, cleaned some spots up, resubmitted. No problem, right? The latest rejection message says that it isn't sharp enough, AND that it has oversharpening artifacts. Um, how can it have artifacts from oversharpening if it isn't sharp enough??
I would post it, but it's in a challenge at the moment.
Anyway, I'm thinking of ditching L.O. and giving Alamy a try. I've made a whole $7 from them on fewer than 10 sales over the last six months. Although, if L.O. is getting this picky, I shudder to think what more established agencies would think!
