I'm new to this but was this a noticeable trend over a longer period of time compared to a month or two? In essence stock photos are just like a market place with demand and supply so at times, your photos may have been in demand until a certain point in time when either supply rises (more alternatives) or demand falls. This could be just a lull for the time being and could easily pick up. If this is over a longer period of time though, I wouldn't have much to say as I have just got on the stock photo trail.

From what I have heard yes, as a newbie you are favoured. After some time not anymore. But you still can make a good amount of downloads if you regulary submit good images.

I think that it is new images not contributors that get a boost.  I always get a boost when I upload a new batch.

in my very very humble experience, every new batch gets few downloads from old photos as well.
