By the way - the automatic image submission via web interface is just brilliant idea, I haven't seen such easy solution before.

I agree and respect the idea of "equal exposure". I am just thinking about future of the lightboxes.

Equal exposure is fair rule. But from the other side these lightboxes suppose to attract more buyers to our images now and in the future. To be efficient in it, they must contain the best of our images. With time (I, personally do it) photographer can return to previous subjects an made way better image, or few. And here I see two possibilities:
 - the lightbox is updated - photographer contacts Leaf, Leaf removes old stuff, photographer submits new images. Not the easiest way for the photographer and Leaf;
 - the lightbox remains unchanged. photographer is too lazy or just don't want to waist his time to update the lightbox.

In the first case there will be new images in the lightbox, and it suppose to be OK for its popularity. In the second - the lightbox would never be popular since buyers will see the same images from year to year.

Again, each photographer is different. Someone have beautiful summer images, some other - hot drinks. I am sure they both would be happy to have 5 more places in the lightbox of their best-selling subject for 5 places in other lightbox, where they have nothing to submit. And the more good images - the better lightbox.

Forgive me for being so persistent, but I just want to understand how it works and would it bring some money now and in the future.

It is better to make more and more lightboxes on the same subject than manage only one?

Would it be better if submitter can add 5 images each month instead of once in a lifetime? Or just single image, but each month?
In this case submitter will pick up the best one, an also fresh one.
If we all limited to only 5 without any (simple) possibility to rotate them, with time we would have only old (and thus, most probably, not the best) images in Microstockgroup Lightboxes...

How do You think?

P.S. Many thanks for this opportunity to promote our images!
