Travel Photography - which agencies?

Hello

Anyone has an idea which sides might be more intresting for travel pictures?
I'm a newbie in this field and I'm not a professional photographer.... But still, I spend half of my life travelling, and in this last year I started getting into photography....
So I have some pictures I would like to put on sell, but I realized that I will not be able to sell anything on the big microstocks sites. The quality of my pictures is OK, but they are technically not perfect! (I'm still learning), and not very intresting for microstock use.
So I was thinking about sides that are more specialized in editorial images.
So if there are some travelphotographer on this forum, I would appreciate any suggestion.

thanks

I put my travel images in RM basically.  That's a personal choice, I can't tell whether this is better or not.  I have however a few in micro that do well.

I would for sure check out Alamy.

Their collection is unedited which means they accept everything as long as you follow the technical specifications they set out.  They then let the buyer decide what is worthwhile or not.  People seem to report various experiences there ranging from poor/ok earnings to excellent earnings - so there is definatly potential.  I have experienced OK earnings there.

from what I've seen (which is most definetly limited) unless you're talking icons like sydney harbour bridge, eiffel tower etc you are better in macro, I think a lot of travel stuff is to low demand to really get the sales in micro

I'd start with alamy but
