Dear Foodgawker.....

Dear Foodgawker,

Every rejection email I get from you just kills my pride a little more. So could you please lower your standards for food photo submissions? I, and I'm sure I speak for all of your other rejectees, would really appreciate it. Thanks, mmmmk?

Until your next rejection letter graces my inbox...

P.S.  Add Tastespotting to that list.

Peace, and bacon grease!

    OMG I totally agree. My most recent decline said "photo/food composition". Um, how is that feedback? Argh!

    Just keep on trying. Or start your own site with foodgawker reject photos. There seems to be enough of us!

    I feel ya! All I have to say is as long as someone looks at your picture and thinks to theirself 'I want to eat that, NOW!!', then your pictures are fine. And I think that all the time with your photos.

    FYI For everyone- There IS a site that happily accepts photos that the others are so easy to reject. TasteStopping.com


    Check it out!
