Just joined in December

Hi , I have joined Pond5 in December as needed a second outlet for my images . I already sell with Getty images but wanted to try someone new. I uploaded a variety of 27 image but so far I have heard nothing. Hence I don't know if I have been accepted or not. Does it normally takes so long for reviews? Also Bout pricing (Getty does the pricing so I am not familiar with this) I don't want to under price myself , is it normally ok to let Pond do the pricing or is it better I do it . Is there a guideline?

Any help appreciated

price your own. Lately the delay has become the longest in P5 history. Good luck.

Its best to price your own images.

Welcome aboard! Patience is a virtue around here ;)

Wow thank you, Getty is bad enough at reviewing times but this beats it ! If only they reviewed a couple to let me know if I am in.

After over a month waiting they rejected all 27 of my images :

“These images unfortunately contain one or more from these defects: blurring (It may be caused by poor focus, inadequate light conditions, or insufficient lens quality.), noise (It may be caused by a high ISO, inadequate light conditions, or insufficient quality of image sensor.), chromatic aberration (It may be caused by insufficient lens quality.) and cannot be accepted at the moment. We would like to suggest examining your images at 100% resolution before uploading, to avoid this in the future. Thank you for your understanding - we look forward to seeing more from you!”

You would have thought that as I am a new contributor they could have accepted at least one or two. Not a good start really! I have nearly 600 images on sale with Getty and I sell regularly . I am amazed at being rejected enmasse and the reasons they offered. I am a professional wildlife/stock photographer, I feel deeply insulted !

I don't think that I would bother uploading anymore of my work here!

Dear Daniela, it is a huge shock&pity to see they treat you like this! As a professional photographyer but haven't been accept in Getty, I sincerely admire you and suggest you push this site (and every microstock market site such as shuttersock istock ect.) away, cause it really cut your value down low...
