The price of rejection.

I just had another couple of rejections, this one with a couple of flowers reflected over water with some Chinese symbols in a bubble / sphere. The reasons given?

"File seems over filtered. Please remove the Chinese character since we do not know what the translation is and it look more like a watermark stamp. Thank you. "

Over filtered, darn right, water and reflections added, orange red filter, slight blur or 'glamour glow' , bubble and Chinese added.

'Please remove the Chinese character since we do not know what the translation is?' The title and description said the Chinese symbols for serenity (would I lie to you? ) that was the whole point of the picture !

All of that I can live with, but !!! the twisted knife in the soul !!!

'it look more like a watermark stamp.'

I took ages working on the reflections, refraction etc. only to have it described as 'a watermark stamp'

The pain !!!!!!
