Hi:

I would like to submit these two photos for Istock consideration; they were edited with Lightroom 3 and Photoshop. Would appreciate any feedback.

Thank you in advance.

It won't get through Istock, because of the noise. What camera are you using?

I use Nikon D50 with Tamron 200mm lens.

Vonkara is right.....to much noise. They are beautiful photos, but most stock sites anymore won't even consider sunset shots unless they are outstanding and different. iStock is the worst with the noise issue...very picky

Too much noise and the images aren't sharp (I can't tell if it's because the shots are handheld or because of the lens)

Especially the second image doesn't have a straight horizon, it should be rotated.

Sunset photos are difficult to get accepted (or sold), and these are not spectacular, too much distracting elements.

Neither are really in focus, and the horizon is severly tilted in the one.

Using ISO 800/900 won't have helped either !!   Try and keep it down to 100 or near as possible !  :)

Sunsets? I have gazillions I never uploaded. This content won't fly. Noise all over too. Buy a decent cam for stock. If this is all you have, I'm sorry. Try Flickr. Good luck.
