First ever QC failure in nearly 6 years.
John Mitchell replied to Brizbee's question in Community support: ask the forum
How do I download it? UPDATE: OK I just figured out how to download the high-res image. It looks over-processed and plastic to my inexpert eyes, but not really soft and lacking. Still not sure that it deserved a fail. However, there's a reason I'm not a QC inspector. 🙃 -

After I loaded the full res 15mb image there is a small + zoom button on web site's screen - but it only gave me 1 click zoom-in - guessing maybe 5-10% max - but enough that the splintered wood does look better. Using a ViewSonic 1080 HD RGB display. -

Not on Alamy but I have a few such images on microstock sites. They are not on Alamy because are between 6-8 Mp and were made during the years when Alamy did not accept such sizes. But for now they made so many sales at microstocks that each gave me several hundred $$, I do not mind that they are not on Alamy 🙂 On Alamy my repeat sellers are just a few bats, particularly hammerhead which I was capturing in DRC many years ago. Not much competition for such niche demand.

Just curious, do you have an image(s) that sells over & over? I’m not asking you to post it, unless it’s not easily duplicated. i’ve had several that’s sold 4-7 times, but have a hot one now (that I won’t post) that has sold 17 times in the past 12 months. Here’s one that has sold multiple over years.

On my Retina display the IBB website refuses to enlarge (zoom into) the image beyond 100% (1 screen pixel / image pixel) , so I had to download and open in PS and view at 200% to make a fair inspection. What display are you using? Mark -

I'm curious, IMO this image is more than an "iffy" failure... Have you downloaded the actual 4,500 x 3,000 pixel image and inspected at 100%? (200% on a Retina display) Mark -

Sadly, this is just the way stock photography is. The only way not to be hurt by these fees is not to participate. -

This one $ shows up today in Sales History but not in Reports. The one in an above post of the swimming pool sign is in Reports but not Sales History. Gremlins? Or just more (sigh) screwups? -

It’s about time they started paying off for you. Especially considering the time & effort you’ve put in. -

John Mitchell replied to Brizbee's question in Community support: ask the forum
It's kinda too bad that QC doesn't include a comment on why an image like this has failed. Even a few words would be very helpful. I've always felt that "soft and lacking definition" is too vague. Just sayin'... ☺️ P.S. Have you emailed Alamy, Brian? I've done that in the past about iffy (IMO) failures and have gotten explanations. -

I loaded the website's hires version and punched in on the web image as much as it would allow. The splintered wood looks better. While the large broken tree is the main subject I wonder if the apparently blown-out whitish background (or cloudiness/fog/mist?) with the smaller trees in the upper and also left of image which look soft are the QC culprit? Due to the background and soft appearing area mentioned above personally I would not have submitted it.
