Whenever it reaches $100.
I also appreciate the professional approach of SS with their monthly automated payment.

Thanks Pixart. Just being busy with other projects not connected to stock: family matters and genealogy details. Cruises don't tempt me, I prefer by far being home, although we definitely enjoyed a family gathering this Summer!

Oh wow, Lee! That's great information. Thanks for posting that! Definitely! What you wrote Lee makes sense. I'll wait before I opt in.

Featurepics added an option for licensing small resolution Blog pictures. Use of such pictures is free. The idea is that it would be a good way to promote the photographer's portfolio. Has anyone used this option? Does anyone have an opinion on this option? I'm still undecided and would appreciate any of your feedback. Thanks!
Here is the site explanation:
"If you allow Clients to use your thumbnails (130px max) in the blog and news content, the users will be required to place a link to your image where other types of licenses are listed.
This type of seemingly free service will go a long way to promoting your Portfolios.
All thumbnails will have an authorization code inside of the image tag that will include the date when the code was used. If you decide to stop assigning "Blog Use License" for your images - we can identify that the image was placed prior to the license withdrawal, so we have extra security on this transaction. "
(note: Leaf, I didn't find a specific forum for Featurepics, did I miss it?)

Yes Pixart, in some circumstances we do have to think 'inside the box'...

Perrush, I understand. I included the word 'beach' because if a buyer wanted to do a search on 'beach erosion', I thought that this picture would be appropriate. For me 'forest' is definitely not an appropriate keyword, knowing that there is quite a cliff with strong waves at its basis just behind this line of the trees you see, and which won't be there soon.
As I said, my mistake was not to convey enough into the pictures what my eyes saw.

ArtmannWitte, I hope that you didn't intentionally spam, and can sort through your portfolio easily and make it live again. Regarding spamming, sometimes the reviewers can make some mistakes. I'm not speaking about DT here, but today I had an image rejected at IS because the keywords used didn't appear to be fully relevant to the subject. The keywords in question were "beach, ecology, environment, environmental, power, white ETC..." I uploaded this picture specifically for the environmental concern on part of the French Atlantic beach, where a few blocks of a village already went into the sea, and this house is the next one to go:  The Ocean is just behind the dune on the left. I know the place very well and witnessed the drastic changes and the power of the elements over the years. The house is white, but with the sunset it looks cream. I always check thoroughly my keywords before submitting. I thought that the keyword 'white' was appropriate. The purpose of this shot for me was to convey the disasters happening now due to the sand erosion, but it didn't work out. Just to say that there can be some keywords that could be considered as spamming by the reviewers, because the angle the picture is shown doesn't convey enough of the reality, which is probably the case for this picture, but in fact are not intentional spamming. In this case, I consider it my mistake to suppose that the reviewers knew what I saw but unfortunately I couldn't capture enough from one single spot. I agree wholeheartedly that intentional spamming is a no-no. Edited to add how the picture was received on the other sites: FP, LO and SS approved it (they probably saw the concept I wanted to convey), BS and SS still in the pending mode, 123RF refused it without explanation, DT refused it for "Lack of composition", FL for "Your photographic work is excellent but does not meet the needs of the Fotolia customer base", and of course StockExpert refused it for "Thanks, but we are not looking for such image..."

Yes ozbandit, dynamics are different on different sites for sure. They seem to complement each other in some ways, so it's great for us.
a.k.a.-tom, same here. Leaf succeeded in building a great site for the community of photographers, and keeping it light, informative, and lively. I also appreciate that the owners of some stock sites participate here on a regular basis. The transparency and the good will makes this place a must.

(...) If you just want to focus on small folio and can't shoot/upload at least 50 new images per month then don't count on SS to give you big growth or income but rather concentrate on iStock, Dreamstime and StockExpert.
Ozbandit, once a picture is ready, why not include SS too? It doesn't take too much more time and energy, since SS FTP uploads are easy, and it gives more exposure (and income) to the picture as a result. When a buyer wishes for a croissant, for example, I assume that he will do the search for the word 'croissant' without checking first whose photographers have the largest portfolios. Although I see your point in searching for 'beautiful blonde', a single picture would be lost in a tidal wave of thousands of pictures

Congratulations Tyler, very nice series!
I also read the explanation you gave in the comment section, quite an amazing achievement to have taken these pictures while hanging yourself on a rope with all your equipment! not only you need a good backpack, but dexterity too!

Is this model an improvement over the Canon PowerShot A640 10MP Digital Camera with 4x Optical Zoom or does it only cover different shooting needs?

Remember the classic National Geographic photo of an Afgan woman with the stunningly haunting green eyes?
The English-speaking photographer got her name (he probably had a translator with him). Years later when National Geographic tried to find her for an update on how she was doing, they couldn't locate her and wrote a story about it.
They did find her in 2002: http://magma.nationalgeographic.com/ngm/afghangirl/
