Glad to see their image counter was totally ****ed and still reads 991,071 to give us false hope

* and i was out taking photos of brick walls.

An interesting portfolio thank God it was one of the beefcake photos I don't want some guy's six pack adorning the front page of iStock for the next week.

Strange the way microstock works do a search for San francisco within their portfolio they have 9 images one with 143 Dls and the others with virtually none

Now maybe they'll work on reducing that darn image queue. 

I just wish it hadn't been an exclusive photographer.  Although they probably had more exclusives in the queue than non-exclusives (exclusives have higher upload limits), it makes the choice of image a bit fishy, at least on the surface.

Well, I guess Shutterstock is next.  I hope they don't pull a Fotolia.  I hope they offer something like a photo shoot in an exotic locale as a prize for their millionth image.  That would be great--something like a trip to Iceland or Mexico for a week would be nice.  Or, better yet, a workshop with a fabulous photo instructor.  It would also be fun if they offered a prize for images 999,999 and  1,000,001.  Are you listening, Shutterstock?

perhaps their announcement should have been read

'this is GOING to be the 1,000,000 image'

Oh I see they have reduced the upload limit to 20 images per 168 hour period for "newbies" obviously trying to clear the backlog
