Apple Pie

apple pie
I took this apple pie image at an odd angle so I didn't submit it anywhere.  I might try to fix it in photoshop, but the cut off plate will make it hard.

Boardwalk Construction

Boardwalk Construction
I love taking pictures of construction projects.  Unfortunately, it seems the stock photo sites don't like to accept photos of construction projects.  This photo of boardwalk replacement in Atlantic City, NJ was rejected as follows:
Reason: Snapshot composition: This image is more of a snapshot than a marketable stock image. Overall problems can include poor lighting, poor composition, non-interesting subject matter, etc.

Atlantic City Panoramic Take 2

Atlantic City Panoramic
Here is another Atlantic City Panoramic.  This one is shot with a Canon XSi camera and is much sharper than the previous image I uploaded to the stock photo site.  Unfortunately, a different excuse was used to not accept the picture this time:
Potential copyright / trademark / privacy issue with photo (could be: copyrighted art, visible logo, license plate number, etc) sorry...

Interestingly, there are plenty of photos on the site where building names are visible so I think your luck on who is doing the photo evaluation goes a long way in having a photo accepted. 

Well, since it was rejected it's yours free now. The uploaded picture is over 40 MP.

Udvar-Hazy Air & Space Museum - Enterprise Space Shuttle

Space ShuttleThe Udvar-Hazy center of the National Air & Space Museum system has a sign as your walk in that says photography permitted for non commercial purposes only.  So, I guess that means I can't submit them to the stock photo sites.  I'll share them here for you for free as always, but your use on these will have to be limited to comply with the Air & Space Museum rules.
