I have been a photographer for over 20 years, and I have sold copies of many of the photos I posted to SS for approval. 90% of the photos I uploaded were rejected, and here are the reasons; people in the picture, even though they were far enough away as to not be recognized at all, or they claimed there was branding in the shot. Example: Honda in an outboard motor that was barely visible. If you would like to see all that were rejected, see Sequim Photo ART on FB
