This is my first "concept" image, I took it years ago.  I showed it to my daughter, who owns one of the hands, and she was impressed that her hand is now in bookstores.  Now that I have more experience, my new "concepts" will probably go to a RM site.  This is my second cover, but the first was for an online only book.

Enough to get me off my a$$ and start submitting new style stuff to RM sites rather than the micros.   I consider it a personal "wake-up' call.  I'm calling it experience and learning from it.

gorgeous! congratulations to you and your daughter.
But one thing though, you didn't  say which site gave you this sale.
Mentioning micros, I assume it was a micro that sold the image for you.
Maybe just going RM elsewhere could be cutting off your new marketplace.
Would you not be better keeping that micro site, if it was in fact a micro that gave you the first cheque, separating different styles :
one for RM and the other for RF micro?

I like your poison ivy pictures. This plant messed up many of my summers before I achieved to recognise them LOL

How did you taken the ones on white, did you taked them in your hands, even whit gloves you can be touched by the poison ivy
