Thanks for all the advice guys!

Brasilnut, tu � brasileiro mesmo ou s� algu�m fan�tico pelo Brasil? hehe de qualquer forma, obrigada pelas boas vindas

Oh and about Alamy, I thought it would be a good idea for me also since I like taking Editorial photos, but I failed the QC because my digital camera "is not suitable for Alamy". Once I can afford a better one, I'll surely try again.

And yeah I've read that pictures with a lot of contrast and colors sell more, but I've also read that more natural pics are better, as HappyBunny said, so that the buyer can edit them as they wish. So, I guess I'll try to offer the buyers both, some pics I'll do more contrasty and saturated and others more natural. Hard to know what the buyers want in this business sometimes... so many different people with different needs, I guess the key is really to try to diversify.

And thanks for the tip about using the "filtro graduado", solucionfotografica! I use LR, but I'm not really an expert on it and there are still some features I don't know how to use (or for what). Now I just saw some tutorials about the graduaded filter and I can see how that will help me a lot.

Cheers,

Hey guys,

I've bee following the discussions on this forum for a few months but only now I registered.
So, I would love to read your critiques of my portfolio:

I've been submitting images regularly since March, and I'm currently making around 15-20 dollars per month (just on the last 3 months, that is).
I don't have a really professional camera (yet) and I've just started this year to really get into the whole microstock thing. I don't expect to get rich from it, if I could get around 100-200 dollars per month I'd be super happy already.

I also sell on other websites, but the sales are almost null, I'm currently trying to delete my account on them because it's been only a waste of time for me. I plan to stay only with Shutterstock and AdobeStock, which are the only 2 I actually sell something on.

Looking forward to your critiques and advices, and thanks in advance!
