- a lot of your landscape images are shot in the middle of the day and against a clear blue sky. I never ever shoot under these conditions: the shadows are too strong and the color tend to be off. You have a few (I guess in Arizona) with nice fluffy clouds and the result is so much better. I don't see many images shot near sunrise or sunset, those are practically the only hours when I shoot landscapes
- your images would also gain a lot with some post processing skills

Wow thanks! Thank you for your very valuable feedback. yes, yes, I would have to shoot more around the blue hour ...
... I'm working on the postprocessing :-)

What do you think about my Portfolio? https://www.shutterstock.com/g/cicloco
....
By the way, i'm not very into special art postprocessing..., would it be an upgrade to my portfolio more saturating my landscapes or doing other HDR and/or art postporcessing with it? Ideas? Till now i tried to let it natural...
Thanks in advance!

Sorry but your colors don't look at all natural to me.

Thanks, would be very nice if you could precise that and making some examples and aditional notes ;-)

Hey fellow traveler,
I'd suggest to get in touch with Robert Harding and/or 4Corners. Some of your work shouldn't be on micros and that's a compliment!
Here's a link to my port on RH which i'm quite proud and has not been easy to build since they reject most of my submissions (80%+):

PM if if you're interested and I'll be happy to give you some tips on passing your first submission.
Alex

I have 3'500 images in my SS Portfolio and sell 250 images/month on SS in average.
I'm photographing since longer time, but still calling me a semi prof. At the time I'm travelling around the world in a VW Vanagon/Kombi. So i have the nice chance to get to very different locations... and try to do some nice work in landscape and wildlife... I try to upgrade my skills in photography and postprocessing almost every day and would really apreciate your feedback!

Yes, nice shots, I like them a lot - and you certainly get around - but as already said, wildlife and landscapes aren't big sellers!
That said, you don't have to stop taking what you like to get more sales - you must be spending a lot of time in towns and villages on your travels, so you could be getting pictures in those places too. Details of shops and markets, food, stuff that shows local culture and activities, even if editorial. If you can get model releases for local people, better yet. You have some I know but you must have plenty of spare time to go walkabout and get more!
As for the colours, they are a bit vivid to my taste, but at least they stand out. No, I don't think they need more saturation and definitely not HDR unless there really is a good reason for it.

Thank you so much!
About applying for Robertharding i'm asking myself if i would get more income or not, and if this change would create a lot of work for me? I'm still only doing it as a hobby and for challenging myself...!?
