I had an EL on March 11, a detail of a nose wheel of a commercial airliner. I never expected the shot (a) to be accepted and (b) to sell, let alone an EL. What was the nature of your EL?

My first EL was the 17th, bird picture, Hawk. I guess it's not just industrial, we can include things that fly too. 

Could it be for a kid's book? They often have pictures of big machines. Some of them are printed in large numbers in many countries.

3 of a large bucket wheel excavator from different angles; and one of an oil distillery, all on the 16th. So it's really industrial, not agriculture or something

That kind:


I don't think they really need an EL for a book though... anyway, interesting what is it all about

Ok, there we have another pattern. My first EL on SS was on the 17 and it was a bird too (a purple heron in flight).

They need an EL if they print more than 250.000 copies...

Good ODs this month (February was crappy thou) and 3 EL's. I usually have 1 EL a month or 1 every other month. So March is shaping really nicely for me
