Why wasn't a skill approved?

It usually comes down to one of these:

  • Not enough relevant examples in that category

  • Technical criteria not met — exposure, sharpness, perspective, natural rendering

What to do next:

  1. Review the criteria above for the skill you applied for

  2. Strengthen your portfolio with more relevant examples

  3. Reapply once your portfolio meets the requirements

Reapplying without improving your portfolio will lead to the same result.
