YOUR photos were rejected on Tastespotting? I know you wrote this post in 2008 but I just now came across it. I have actually been bummed out recently because they are rejected my entries more often than accepting them. Most of my photos were rejected because of "composition". I was so upset that I googled "Tastespotting rejections" to see what it would come up with - I wanted to make myself feel better. I'm very familar with your blog and love all of your postings so when I saw that YOU actually had an issue with Tastespotting....well, I felt better. I feel better. I'm still not gonna give up.Thanks for giving me a new perspective on it. I go through their pages and I see photographs that I think are not good at all. What in the hell are they looking for?!!! I just don't "get it". Wow!! YOUR photos were rejected on Tastespotting? I know you wrote this post in 2008 but I just now came across it.

I'm using my rejections from TS and foodgawker as feedback to make my photos better. Ok, I wish the feedback were more specific, but given the number of submissions they get, a boilerplate checklist-type response is probably the best I can expect. Sigh...I'll keep trying. But I also look at photos like the ones here and ask myself 'what is it that makes this photo fill my eye?' I learn from that too. So thanks for showing me how to do it better. As for the rejection: If it's true that living well is the best revenge, then when I see this poundcake, I'd say you're doin' it right.
