Woow! The people is very angry here… I can smell the madness@Pixelous: You were very lucky getting a soft-rejection, but… you are an exclusive author in TF; your theme Pulse is in another marketplace. You can’t get anything with this discussion because you are not allowed to sell Pulse in TF since you sell in the “other” marketplace.
It’s not a luck man. It’s a practice. Currently I have 2 themes that are hidden. Cheers.

Pixelous saidevery can see two themes have different type. one is showcase and one is look like portfolio. we have many ways to describe a photo site. in your showcase , it need more stunning graphics like other successful showcase. your theme was too simple to be non-unique.

The funny is he’s trying to compare his theme to other themes which have different theme type. Sound like I trying to compare my metro iphone to a nokia metro phone.
Reviewer was true , your theme don’t have enough unique.rongcon you aren’t right actually. They are both photography themes – mine and AJ’s theme.
Could you say please what is unique in AJ theme?
You mean too simple to be unique? Which kind of graphics AJ’s theme provide?

At first I was understanding your anger due to rejection.But the way you are behaving now is just ridiculous.
In addition to the work on your theme(that is not unique in any way) you should probably also work on your attitude.
In which way AJ’s last theme is unique?

Isn’t it obvious? Your theme doesn’t include loads of pictures of really hot women! Dan
Ahahaha 
Something like this?

Stop talking about other people’s themes and look / talk about yours. Looking at other people’s work will lead you to failure.
But why? The header in my theme is too generic and simple? No problem, I am agree. The header of AJ’s last theme is rich and unique?

Here’s to help you understand why: * the headings are not leading, they need tone contrast to strike first * on this page http://demo.megathe.me/pulse/shortcodes/ here for instance there is no hierarchy, no spacing concept, total chaos, you don’t know where is all started or ended * your header is not good enough, looks like a text line with 3 different styles within with other words, nothing interesting there, so minimal is not reducing all to zero, but removing what’s not really needed Don’t blame reviewers for your rejection, your theme would never sell here, the only one to blame is yourself, you need more practice, more features and above all, the unique style of your own, grown up to the levels here.
Thanks, what do you think about the header here? [link removed]

And the fact that you’re an exclusive author yet you sell that exact same theme on a different marketplace and still trying to get it approved here will get you banned. And about your design, it’s not good enough for TF. It has nothing to do with uniqueness, it simply isn’t good enough. And every page looks like it’s a different website. It needs more work. For minimal themes spacing and typography are very important, so work on that as well.
I don’t sell the theme here because it’s soft rejected. Thanks for the warning though.
Advise please what I need to improve other than typography?
Thanks and your themes are great by the way really!
Hi there!
First I wish to say much thanks to Ivor. He was kind enought to explain what I need to improve in our soft rejected theme.
But still don’t understand the reviewer’s logic (not Ivor’s):
Anyway, the submitted theme doesn’t provide anything unique or value as a theme. It is more like a technical tutorial demo rather than a working and complete theme. Minimal templates can be clean and simple when you manage to handle the white space and details to provide a simple but yet unique template. But if you can’t, it will look like an incomplete template – blank template.
And here is the link to the theme – link
Any help much appreciated!
I know this link will be removed by mod but please see http://www.wpexplorer.me/premium/photojax/
What is AJ’s theme better than mine? Because he is an elite author right? His theme is perfect I think, looks minimal and professional. My theme really nonunique? I don’t understand the reviewer’s logic.
Thanks for your attention.
