I have no idea PR. How many made the grade?

Go onto their forum and post one or two that didn't make it, the guys there will tell you exactly why they failed. Take their advice, it works. Lots of them used to be reviewers. \O

The lot , but what gets me the same shots I have sold and printed up to 1,2 x 800cm with no problem or grain. Don,t think they like my work =O: =O: =O: =O: =O: or there is a I?????? in charge :evil: , will hit them with a trick. Only thing that has me concerned now is that they shoot the photo down , they are now sitting with a high res photo that they can easy print up to a 40cm x60cm size photo with out you knowing about it as it,s pre set to print on that size 0*\ 0*\

0' 0' Missed by one! 6/10!

I submitted four of my personal favourites; guess which ones got rejected 0=

I'll get some guidance from the forum this time.

I was lucky enough to get 7/10 the first time I submitted. One positive thing is that SS is the hardest place to get images accepted, so the quality on the site is good and buyers know that, that is why SS has the most sales out of all the micro stock sites. \O

Not decent yet, I need more photos uploaded. There are guys that do this as their full time job, so the possibilities are there. \O

Thx Sprocky for this thread..many folk have told me to submit to stock libraries but every time I have investigated I have got my knickers in a knot and forgotten about it. I am a bit busy now with house renovations and my daughter's wedding coming up in March ...but maybe after that I will try again. You may get many "Pleeeeeeeeeeease help Sprocky"
Maybe I will spend the Cape Town rainy winter days selecting photos....I always find that difficult though...
Thx again for the thread. :)
