Hi jason,
I am also a newbie. Your sales figures are better than mine. I started stock 2 months back with DT IS. Got rejected at SS. On april 28 I reapplied to SS with images from my DT portfolio. 7 were selected . Whew. On may 7 my first sale at SS. So far 5 sales at SS. NO sales at DT. Shots of birds and insects mostly. 36 images at SS. 34 at DT, 16 pending. 8 at IS. I stopped uploading to IS. I suspect they dont look at images before passing them. Their search shows up mostly crappy images. I have noise issues with my old d300 shots. Try to use topaz denoise and detail. Sometimes get accepted. I must shoot at high iso. These are animals in our light. tough luck. Most of my rare animal shots are with a d50 don't get me started on those
that camera was BAD at usi 800. Good luck to you. I too have to spend a lot of time on each photo.
