Your images look good, but your keywording needs work. A lot of people don't put the thought and effort into keywording that they need to, and their images are undersold because of it.

Take your (fabulous) beach image for example: a brown monochrome shot of a family in silhouette walking along a beach. Your keywords should promote the "family summer vacation" or "special family moment" aspect of this image, and not include such unimportant things as "caucasian", "airpump", "sand", and "water".

... good luck!

It looks like you have a good start on istock.  The Doctors image looks like it could sell well.

I'd also stop putting the camera type, shutter speed, etc. in the your photo descriptions. If people want that information they can look at it when they buy the photo. Putting in the description makes it hard to read the description and doesn't look professional.

Very good photos, you should do very well if the rest of your photos are that good.

your photos on istock (10 so far) are really nice, and i believe sell able. but on fotolia, i would close your account immediately because of huge keyword spamming.  - which i can see you try to do there (on istock) too.
 example:
woman running on the beach (if i believe your keywords):

 girl (female child), (which is also "sexy") (so olimpic  games, are actually erotic games )
 young woman
 mid adult woman,
 and female (if she is woman, it's hard to be a male, is it?)
 sports footwear (sneaker)(which? left or right?) - i see woman wearing sneakers (which is irrelevant)
 successful (in what?)

 i myself would really put a poison in a drink to reviewer who did not reject your file with key wording reason

 good luck.
 

 yes, on istock is "enthusiasm" , but on fotolia, it's a huge keyword spamming. i think that mr. shock is a real poison for us -who consider this business seriously.
