Title: Submitting 2nd Application - Need your advice on what to select.
Post by: Kngkyle on February 16, 2007, 11:47

Well my first applicatiom was rejected with good reason. I rushed it and sent in a bunch of junk.
Now my month wait is about up, and I have an idea of what I'm going to submit but not sure so figured it wouldn't hurt to ask here.

I currently have 55 images online at Fotolia. Quite a few of them are crap but suprisingly some of the ones I see as horrible have actually sold. Most of my stuff is computer generated because my camera is only 5 megapixels.
Here is a link to my gallery, if you could pick out the 10 you think I should submit it'd be great.

Ok, there is five of my pics.  You had an allright landscape there with some water and sky, but i think it is better to NOT take a risk in sending something with a sky... unless you have made double sure that it has no noise.

And 5mp, that is nothing to complain about.  That is more than enough for microstocks.

None of the sky/water/ocean submissions on there are taken from my camera. They are computer generated and have no noise.
Thanks for the 5.

Well I have made some new illustrations that I will most likely submit. I'm pretty confident that I'll get accepted this time.  ;D

Oh ya got me there. In order to meet the 4megapixel requirement on Shutterstock I think it would be too noisy. I doubt I'm going to submit any photos in this application, only illustrations.

EDIT: Yea I just looked at the file up close. It is a bit noisy at 2 megapixels. My camera is just a little point and shoot and I don't have much experience with photography.
