*eek*
It's not sounding as easy as I thought, though it's reassuring to know it's not just me.
Looks like they have the pick of just about everyone in the microstock arena and can therefore make it as easy or difficult as they want.
I have been sending my less artistic shots as they always seemed to look more commercial to me and therefore make them more attractive to the microstocks.
Looks like I should probably start concentrating less on the white background, isolated objects and get out there and take photos which are a bit more interesting.
Looking at the top selling photos is pretty enlightening and has given me some ideas, though theres the usual "My photo doesn't look very different to that!"
Thanks for the advice (both positive and negative!). Looks like I've just got to keep on working on it and one time I will be lucky
