iStockphoto

The last time I was on iStockphoto (according to their records) was in July 2011. Which means the last time i was rejected by iStockphoto was more than a year ago.

I've been working really hard to up my game in terms of the pictures I shoot and here I am, more than a year later on the website thinking of getting possibly rejected yet again (I've been rejected on at least 3 different occasions now).

But here's the thing - I'm not sure if my eyes are starting to fail me at this ungodly hour of the day or if I'm so technologically impaired or if I really can't seem to find the damn button that lets me submit my photos to be scrutinized by the worlds leading photo critics (I assume their jobs are to just sit there and rate our photos like health inspectors rate restaurants).

I've spent over 45 minutes scouring the website, including the SITEMAP, but have so far turned up short with my eagerness slowly dwindling into an exhausted stupor.

Well, for what it's worth, here's the picture I intended on submitting. Would love to hear what total, honest strangers have to say about it.

I'm guessing it wouldn't pass iStock's criteria anyway. After closer inspection, my boat seems to be a tad fuzzy.
