Good to hear!  and I think you have got just the right imagery for CS as well. My heavy duty, corporate, industrial, oil, gas, nuclear, transport, etc, categories are probably not too associated with CS.

best.

I also am plesantly surprised by this site. It is one of the easiest and fastest. Now if sales will pick up, I'll be a happy camper indeed.

Canstock has been steadily climbing in the poll results.  It's a big jump to get in to the top 4 but I don't think it's impossible.

The Big 4 is hard to beat, but Fotolia and Dreamstime, for me, is possible if my Canstock sales keep up this way. 1st month with them and I am more than happy.

FAST upload and review time, and nice payouts (5$ , 19.80$ for some images, makes me smile) :)

Everybody's so happy about approving at Canstock.
But speaking generally - I have to say that what has helped me most were rejections at Shutterstock. I'm very occasionally photographer - 95% of my images are vectors. Thanks to rejections I completely change my view of what is and what is not out of focus, made me work with white balance seriously etc.
At the moment when I finally get through Shutterstock initialization I had  300 images at other stock (not Canstock) - being happy that I am photographer "good enough for microstock". Fortunately none of these snapshots were ever sold. Fortunately - because idea that somebody would pay for and enlarge this blurry picture of something with violet edges became my nightmare.
So. I love having 98% approval ration anywhere (speaking generally not CS) but frankly - are we that sure that all of these images really do deserve approval? If you are sure - good for you.
Fair rejections just help me progress much more than having 10k portfolio full of unsalable ....   Howgh.
