No, I wasn't exclusive. (I think that was before exclusivity was even offered). It was back in 2004 and I had just started. I had been accepted by them and I had also joined a couple of (then) new sites. I had not even uploaded any photos to them or participated in any forums or really anything when I got this whole slew of e-mails saying my account was closed and I was banned because I was reviewing for another site and apparently that was a horribly bad thing. It was the first (and only

) time I've ever been banned from anything in my whole life. I still don't recall seeing anything that said I shouldn't review for another site when I originally joined. I know they've had a change in ownership since then, but they had made it pretty clear that I was unwelcome and that reviewing for another site was an egregious act.

To get you guys inspired (or vomit

I shot my egg photo today, now lets hope it gets accepted $:-\$
Assuming you all are creative enough to think of something better and not steal the idea...
Not enough time to go really creative (vacation planned).
Comments to improve are welcome...
Great idea Leaf!

Interesting, I heard stories about it before I joined even istock but I can't find for the life of me anything in their tos that prohibits me to do so. Anybody any newer information about that? Sorry, for kidnapping the thread Leaf,

Good idea bjorn!

If it would be possible, it would be nice if all the grass would be in a similar hight and a bit shorter, so the egg is more exposedand maybe add more sky to the top, with a blurred golfclub swinging towards the egg

bjorn · « **Reply #29 on:** September 08, 2007, 01:09 »

FP thanks for the comments, I thought about the idea, but not sure if it would sell better. The story it would tell is rather limited I would think, perhaps as 'breakfast at the golfclub'

But it would sure be fun to make it

Had/have more blue sky and clouds (shot it portrait) but it sort of distracted from the grass/egg.

If I can find the time, i'll give it a try...

.. great - thanks. 2 entires so far

remember you can submit up to 3... hopefully we can get around 20 images in the lightbox at least - but minimum 10 would be good.

susieswe · « **Reply #36 on:** September 17, 2007, 10:17 »

Got one more egg picture approved today.

Hi Leaf,

Here's one of mine:

(I know, it's not exactly a «photo» of an egg but...

)

And here's a more classic one:

Hopefully more will be approved.

Thanks Leaf.

Unfortunately I have not seen a boost in sales of my pictures in other lightboxes.

Time will tell

Read_My_Rights · « **Reply #40 on:** September 21, 2007, 07:43 »

Two more approved pictures from the same egg.

http://www.istockphoto.com/file_closeup.php?id=4222826

Wanted to call this picture "egg striptease" but the reviewers lack of humour made me reconsider;)

http://www.istockphoto.com/file_closeup.php?id=4222381

Thanks Leaf. Where are your egg pictures. You must have had something in mind when you started the lightbox.

leaf · « **Reply #41 on:** September 21, 2007, 09:26 »

great images guys. It will be fun to see who 'wins' with the most sales.

No i didn't have an idea in mind. I just tried to think of something simple that everyone could easily take a picture of.

I still have to take my egg picture.

Peter · « **Reply #42 on:** September 22, 2007, 04:37 »

I have this one

http://www.fotolia.com/id/4393208

But I do not think it is good enough comparing to others.....

i think you need to look at the rules again

You have to upload it to istock, and put the banner in the description
