A few months ago my acceptance ratio was at about 34% and now I've managed to pull it back up to 76%. How are you doing? Has your's increased or decreased a lot either way in the last few months?

Quoting Cosec59 (Reply 2): So you're saying that screening standards have declined?
Screening standards are not the only variable in determining whether a photo gets accepted.
As for me, not having uploaded in a few months, I wouldn't know.

A few months ago my acceptance ratio was 74% but now it has gone down to 40%! In the beginning of this year, the ratio was about 38% and before that it was steady in 50%.
There are 20 photos waiting in the Q to either push my ratio up or down.

Was in the 70s at the start of the year, dropped to the 50s (ironically after I upgraded from an Olympus C-740 to a Canon 350D) but slowly regained ground and now stands at 80%. My main problem has been getting the sharpening right. Hopefully I'm better at it now.
Make the most of the available light ... a lesson of photography that applies to life

Dropped from 96% to 88%, all because of one photo. Rejected, appealed + rejected, re-edit rejected, appeal + rejected. 4 rejections (= 8%) all by one photo...

WOOOW and some of us think we have it hard .
Not meaning anything bad towards you Eduard but makes me feel better knowing even screeners go through these sort of stuff.
Mine was also at 88% until a few rejections and an appeal got it down to 84% but I'm not complaining not sure how long it will stay there thou
Cheers

Haven't uploaded anything for several weeks now because I'm scared to ruin my acceptance ratio.
Well actually my AMS trip back in may made me think twice about spending hours at the fences at HAM to shoot Lufthansa 737s.

Officially, it's currently at 62% based on the last 50, with an all-time high of 86%.
However, I am 20 for the last 25 (80%)...

What Is Being Done About The Slow Queue? (by Navigator Jul 5 2006 in Aviation Photography)
All shots were carefully selected and pre-screened and uploaded on 5 different days and I've got some 20-30 more photos waiting to be edited and uploaded so I need to be pushing a little bit before my next major photoshooting.
Anyway, it's not my fault the screeners work so slowly...

Ahh I feel better now - I'm not the only one that gives some of my shots a few goes.
Based on your 50 most recently screened photos: Accepted: 24 Rejected: 26
Acceptance Ratio: 48%
Was at around 70% a few months back - had a bad run lately - But I'm now being really harsh on myself so only got 4 or 5 in the Q. Also doing my bit to help with the Q size.

I've not long started. 5 uploaded, 5 rejected. By my calculations, that's, lets see....0%!
So, I ditched the compact, and bought a D50......I hope to get at least 1 accepted. I'm avidly following all the advice given out (esp. by the screeners!), only time will tell......
