Hello all, I just started out with the Micro end of the business. And as I am limited, for the time being, to 15 images/168 hours to IS, does one just look at which shots are doing best at other sites and submit the those or are there other considerations?

istock are picky about technicalities - crisp focus, the dreaded artifacting and especially , in my experience, lighting (no harsh shadows, odd colour balances unless you can persuade them it's deliberate). So to get a high acceptance rate clean files are very important.

ya , and they don't like high key ...
somehow thinks that anything to do with that is blocked highlights, even though there isn't any.
it's a whole grey scale thing . look at there featured photos...
everything is dark and gloomy. Grin
