It took me longer to get here than I anticipated, but things
should start to get better now that I can upload 30 images/wk!

Some people say that there's an increase of sales once you get gold... may be is too soon to tell, but did you see any change?

Post by: GeoPappas on February 21, 2008, 10:49: Along with everyone else, I would like to offer you my congratulations.

It is obvious that, along with your great eye for photography, you have some awesome Photoshop skills.

I am glad to see that you have done so well on IS, especially since they don't seem to normally like highly edited images. This is one area that I wish would change on IS, since I believe that they are missing out on a lot of potential sales.

Post by: Lee Torrens on February 21, 2008, 17:24: Nice work Stephen. I'm suitably impressed, jealous and inspired - not necessarily in that order. ;)

I guess they don't adorn your profile with the gold icon until the next update. Buggers!
