I've been with Shutterstock now for a little over a year.
My portfolio is quite small (around 230 odd images), and my sales have been on the up and up at Shutterstock.
However, this morning I logged in to check what's happening, and I made a $28.00 EL sale for this image (which I don't think is a superb image anyway):

I'm so excited about it! Oh, and I FINALLY got into iStock a few days ago (after a year of trying) so I'm hoping sales there will be good too!
:D

Congratulations Chris! It's such a great feeling isn't it? ;D
I remember the first time I had an EL sale on SS - I hadn't actually realised that such a big sale was possible there. I think my response was.... 'Uh.... what?..... Really?.... No..... Yesssss!' and then some jumping up and down.
I wish you many more - but the first one will always be the best ;D
Congratulations on iStock too. I'm sure you'll do well there, and that year of trying will seem like a distant memory as the sales start rolling in. Best of luck to you.

That's a very good stock photo!
But... ONE WHOLE YEAR trying to be accepted at IS? How is this possible???

Congratulation.
I want to know one thing. With SS, do you need to activate interest in EL and OD?
I see with Bigstock and Dreamstime,etc you must be careful to remember to mark your interest in each licence. Like you want to Opt Out with IS.
But I don't remember to see anything like this with Shutterstock.
Is subs, OD, EL.etc all automatic choice or did I miss something when I join?

Quite an effective photo of Factory Artisan wearing protective gear while arc welding metal - congrats!
(omitted your overly modest evaluation of image, since I think these comments are public)

sorry to disagree but I think this *is* a great picture: besides being technically good, it clearly shows a concept, as they say...

I tried and tried.. And kept getting rejected after each application.
And, of course, after each application, they make you wait even longer between attempts.
First it was 3 days, then fail, then wait 7 days, then fail, then 21 days, then fail, then wait 3 months, then fail, then wait 365 days!!!
