Leaf, I took your suggestion and got the 4x5 size.  Space is at a premium for me.

As Sharply said, you sure have some nice equipment!  As far as the tutorials go, keep them coming if you can.  I'm sure learning from them and appreciate your effort!

Hospitalera:
How do you link your picture to featurepics (or any other web site)?

Will the link at the bottom of your posts automatically sign me up as your referral if I choose to do this?

Thanks for the info.  I'm thinking about doing this...

Mine has been pretty much consistently the same (payout every month) since being accepted in June 2006 even though my portfolio is much larger than it was originally.

Wish the payouts were bigger - lol

I've had some of those type images accepted so I try anyway if I think they are exceptional.  Good luck!

Leaf, you've had this for quite awhile now.  Still like it?  Is it worth the money?  Anyone else have any opinions since I've been thinking about buying one?  Thanks.

Congrats.  I hope someday to upgrade from my Canon 5d (although I'm not complaining - lol)

I'm sure you realize I'm reading them - lol

I even had the nerve to ask you through a personal email for a tutorial on removing lens glare/flash from eye glasses!

Thanks so much and keep them coming.  They are appreciated!

Interesting enough, I had a teddy bear accepted on SS that I did a month or so ago. The bear was the central focus of them image.

go figure...

I've just come to accept that the whole copyright thing is confusing and just accept when something is rejected because of it.

I'm with you, Mattb, I just go with the flow and don't try to understand it - lol

I just emailed you, Bobby!

Thanks,

I decided to go ahead and give it a try but after getting the email welcoming me, I noticed you allow a maximum of 25 keywords and if there are more, you'll just take the first 25 relevant.  Why the low limit?  I understand most sites want to ensure relevant keywords are entered, however, I've already coded almost all of my stock photos with up to 50 keywords so I wouldn't want to have to take the time to cut them down to the 25 most pertinent.  My suggestion is to raise the limit to 50.  Thanks.

Regarding key words: We suggest 10-25 keywords but we know that many of the seasoned photographers have more embedded in their files. So what happens is this: Your image with ALL keywords arrives in the review queue, after we have decided if we'll approve the image or not we either amend the key words or send them to our key wording specialist who does it for you. Only exception is obvious key word spamming like "sexy, attractive, erotic" etc for let's say an image of a tree. Then you would get an email telling you how to key word images right... As long as you don't key word spam you're on the safe site! Hope that helps SY

I've uploaded quite a few images and pushed them through since more than 25 keywords were already embedded.  Now I'm getting many of them back saying "Keywords are too excessive."  I'm not planning on going back and fixing them since that's a lot of time on my part for no sales at this point and it's stated above they will be narrowed down by your staff.   I also got one back for updating that says "passed."  I have no idea what that means.  Any suggestions on how I should proceed?

Congratulations!  ;D 

I checked my dl's at IS at I'm at 777 right now.  Guess I should be in a casino playing 7's instead of sitting at home with my computer - hehehehe

Thanks for the prompt reply and the quick response on getting ftp uploading capabilities (I waited less than 24 hours).  I'll give it a shot!
