I also shoot RAW and view my images at 100%. Some of my photos were shot at foggy coastline so I wonder if the inspectors didn't feel comfortable with foggy conditions. They could perceive the foggy effects as artefacts or lack of focus. But I am not sure.
Even though I can accept that they are more generous to exclusives, iStock has been considered as a "fair agency" by many photographers, including myself. I hope they don't start this mass rejection to non-exclusives without considering the true merits of our work.
I hope IS management will review this and keep its good reputation.
