We should realize the naked truth, in a globalized market there's two kind of products. The mainstream easy replaceable ones and the uniques ones.
Until your product/work is so unique and wonderful (or well marketed  ) you are on the weak side of the market and so you have to accept what the strongest side push upon you and there's no union that can save you from this (I talk from experience as I am an union representative in my daily job).
If tomorrow a chinese stock agency opens up with half the price than SS or IS and about same quality, SS and IS themselves will be in our same problems and I think they're well aware of this. Keeping their prices low is a method to keep the competitors away as investments in a new stock agency will become profictable in a longer time period (just look at Snapvillage), for the most economical aware of you is the theory of Break Even Point.
It would pretty different if customers would scream to have an image from Lisa Gagne and/or Yuri Arcus and not shot by anyone else. But until this will happen they too will have to get their 30 cents from SS or 30% from IS and be happy with it.
(Another solution would be the communist revolution but shooting with a Kiev88 isn't very practical nowadays  )
pfff... 88 is for pussies, 60 is the real deal!

I did some maths today.

Did you know you can avoid the masking with just double click under the layers name and sliding half to the highlights triangle all the way to the left tawards the blacks in the blending options of the layer?

on the bad side you get more noise in shadows than you already had

I use painted wall, and it's not even white (clear apple green) until I over expose it a bit

I think the problemhere is underexposing the image, with shutter speed at 1/500 and ISO at just 50 you need hell lot of light, and that seems too be an evening/morning sky. So I think you should try to to shoot (raw if possible) over exposing a bit (like a very tinyyyyyyyyy bit, without blowing out your highlight) and bring back darks afterwards in your raw editor.
Hello Vika! Thanks for suggestion, and I know it wasn't properly exposed but since I was photographing bird I wouldn't be able to choose longer shutter speed, I also wish it look like silhouette.
BTW I've uploaded whole filtered picture: http://www.flcd.net/Photo/temp/1.jpg
I've already submit it to DT but now have doubts if I did correctly or it would be rejected right away and affect my approve ratio, if possible I'd like to heard advice whenever it's suitable for submission or not?
using flashes would have helped, of course not if it was an improvised shot. I also spotted a dust grain on the upper side that you should take care of the next time. Sorry to tell you, but it still is quite underexposed, but bumping the exposure up would bring only more artifacts and noise

you can find a new feature on SS (maybe everyone knew it already but not me ). Right low corner in login page under most popular images, where you can check what of the model releases to display next time you want to attach releases to the new images. I find it pretty useful after submitting a release for each new image even if with the same model at the start of my SS career.

their keyword system is pretty much inefficient, especially with only 255 characters allowed and words in their basic form, so all my holding, smiling and other 'ings are now useless and i don't feel like doing my keywords again.
Besides uploading images from browser seems to be really tedious and sometimes after showing loading bar for some time it takes me to my images without latest image being uploading. Trying it on two different browsers, Opera and Mozilla.
So far have 8 images uploaded in 2 hours.
