I like the first one, but IS would probably reject it for lighting/shadow issues.  From my personal 9 year history with them, they seem to like sunshine and studio lights.   ;)

Lobo, I am your Faaaather.  Tab, even mosquitoes and vampire bats have a purpose in life, I'm sure IS does too.

Abu,
I don't know if they judge your audition shots on content nowadays or just the technical aspects.  Flowers and kitty cats are generally frowned upon as submission subjects.  Already "well-covered in the database", or is that Fotolio I'm thinking of?

"Tab, even mosquitoes and vampire bats have a purpose in life, I'm sure IS does too."

So you would compare IS to a 'Blood * Creature'. I can live with that comparison...

I am not sure that they are right images for microstocks.

Try to put yourself from the part of the customers and ask yourself simple questions:
- will I buy this image?
- for what I can use it?
- can I find better a image of the same subject?
- etc.


(etc. is the hardest to answer to :) )
