do you feel you are getting paid for the time invested creating products or is it more of a 'just for fun' hobby project?
I am sure there is a lot of money on zazzle, I havent worked that hard and got close to 300$ in 2011, not far from that in 2012 actually.. I have made some calculations and I was getting paid around 12$ per hour, doesnt mean I will have 12$ for every hour but I am sure they will sell, a % of it of course

its light, too much light entering the lens/sensor
But how can that be? Both images even look a bit underexposed or is it just my eyes?
no you are right.. they are under.. I never used the sigma 105mm but I had the same issue and it was the lens inside "sweating".. the weird fact here is that it works well with natural lighting.. so gotta be the strobes, the light from them..

its light, too much light entering the lens/sensor, place the softboxes further away, I used to have this kind of issue, one time was really too much light other was the lens itself dirty like sweating (inside, not the front glass)

not a while ago DT rejected a bunch of my pics with a model, total different clothes, total different hair BUT the same actions not even 1 was approved, basically because it was the same model (all other agencies approved 100%)
would they sell? I am sure of that once they are selling all around, its my lose and their too in the end

you seem to open threads about CanStockPhoto weekly  beside that I am going to say the obvious, comparing to SS I do like 20x less per month, so they are a "lower" agency, looking at the Polls Results 100$ in SS mean 10.3$ in CanStockPhoto, if you are experiencing different trend might be tons of things from their target, to your work, to everything, basically you cannot rely on CanStockPhoto to get more than a few bucks

Thanks Luis for answering my question
If you are making the same at isignstock and panthermedia that you are making at BigStock and Photodune, that is very interesting information. I might consider them if I am looking to upload to a new site, particularly if they offer some assistance getting my current 7k portfolio uploaded.
iSign is upload and DONE not even a click, Panther takes a little more but quite fast too

Would any of those who contribute to >25 agencies be willing to share if/why they feel it is worthwhile to do that? Are you making any money on the additional 10+ agencies?
in 2011
200$ to 250$ - canstockphoto, depositphotos, zazzle
150$ to 200$ - bigstock, panthermedia, photodune, isignstock, veer, stockxpert
80$ - mostphotos
4$ to 44$ - irockstock, superhug, crestock, featurepics, allyoucanstock, yaymicro, 3dstudio, stockfresh, scanstock, pixmac, glstock
Exactly! So why? 6$/month per agency for the top 3, few cents for the bottom. Beats me as to why would anyone contribute to those agencies  
you need to pick the right small players like I have said and also told you some numbers..
I will add that I have made around 10k $ in 2011, 1700$ were made in agencies beside the top5 (SS, IS, FT, 123RF, DT)
the time I have spent was worth? in my opinion hell yeah it was and why do I say this? because I wasnt going to shoot/edit/keywording other stuff so I was uploading/submitting as I was browsing websites, watching TV, facebook, listening to music and this forum, so why not?
if you have plans for shooting more I would say shoot more not uploading to more agencies, you need to check agencies yourself and how they work for you, the majority of them are very quick
its not 6$ per agency for top 3 but over 16$ and the number is growing (actually I said 200 to 250$ per agency) those are not totals
