Nice going. I'm still amused by someone having their own proprietary software for keywording and the extent of your efforts to become a success in three years. Not what the average person or even a success driven person might do. It's exceptional. Oh that and something like someone like myself couldn't buy in another 30 years of trying or training. Artistic ability and creativity!

Thanks:) Not that exceptional considering the prospect of spending the rest of your life in office cubicle...

Did you open this thread to help yourself by getting some emotional support or to promote your pictures?
Anyway, without knowing your numbers...it seems to be a good idea to communicate if the downloads are not as good as expected.
I wil also try in future if I had the time between my other jobs.

Best regards.

You can look up numbers on any site... check Fotolia ranking, for example. Or that's too much work? I have nothing to complain about

Looks like you're the one badly needing emotional support. Tell us your sad story, there are kind people here who will read.

I was going to say something, at IS where you are #101. Hey, get to work and you'll be in the top 100!

Files: 5753 Downloads: 110000 for "bad's" information.

I wouldn't have a clue how to find anyone on FT.

Istock sadly has less than half of my files. Because of the upload limits. So it's not a matter of work, it's a matter of them keeping my work away.
Fotolia ranking page: http://www.fotolia.com/Info/Ranking
#16 to save you counting. Would be #15 if Monkey Business didn't negotiate themselves second account with Sapphire privileges.

Congratulations Elena, and glad to hear you are already getting sales at your site. I haven't developed to your level of talent, but I really admire your style and the elements you photograph. Very inspiring. It's good to see something besides the usual isolated portfolios, and it is great that your imagery has proven so successful.

@bad - That was in really poor taste. Not sure what your issue is.
