Thx for the feedback, I think you hit it on the head with "see a keyword, illustrate the keyword so that everything in the frame supports that keyword." That's a departure for me but it does explain my challenges.

I would like to get your input on some photo's that I am considering sending to Shutterstock. I have small portfolio's on Bigstock, Fotolia, Istock, Dreamstime and 123RF. All of which contain photo's already declined by Shutterstock in my first two submission attempts.

My style leans towards nature and landscape which is well covered in most sites already and was the topic of my previous submissions. I tried to go a different direction this time with some travel photo's and some shots from a local school that close in 2010.

I am including a link to the photos on Flick'r at full resolution for your review.

Let me know if you have any questions or difficulties getting to the link, this is my first post so I may make a mistake somewhere. Your help and input are greatly appreciated.
