Hello,

I am very new to Microstock and am an amateur photographer with no formal training.  I have uploaded images to 4 of the "Big Six" agencies, and found an intriguing pattern.

At the embarrassing end of the spectrum, SS flat out denied all 20 of my initial photos.  DT and FT accepted 1/8 or so, and IS has accepted about 1/3 or 1/4 of initial contributions.

Does each agency specialize, or concentrate on certain subject matter.  Are some more all-inclusive than others?

Thanks.
