Hello everyone,
                 I started stock from July this year. In SS I have over 1200 photos and I made  77 sales. I am obviously doing something wrong. Would you please look at my portfolio and tell me what you REALLY think. It seem to me, that I have learn a lot. Thank you all.

Some of your images are not bad, try to vary your subjects a bit more.
For your outdoor images you definitely need to improve your post processing and color grading. There is a lot of competition and your images need to stand out, to pop up more, in order to be noticed.
Taking good pics is part of the job, but good post processing is paramount

Thanks Brightontl.  I also thought myself to slow down and submit less images with better quality.

Hi,

I can see you're thinking about different concepts and experimenting - great stuff. As Brighton has pointed out, need to focus more on the execution to improve your post-processing.

I would add that some of your editorials could easily be commercial. You seem proficient in PS so should be relatively straightforward to get rid of some people / signs, such as in this image and other similars.

Keep experimenting and submitting. Once you see an image is being downloaded regularly you can focus on creating some themes around those popular, continuously upping the technical standards.

Cool portfolio you have there.You still photography is good( i think anyway ,i can`t do still photography to save my life ).
Like Alex said it will take some time for sales to pick up once you find out what sells and focus more there.
