http://xxxtruetilldeathxxx!.deviantart!.co!.!.!. and no, it's not a porn site with the xxx!. sheeeeeesh thanksWww@QuestionHome@Com Best Answer - Chosen by Asker: Zoo's got it right!. Your exposures need to be good when taken (not that I'm saying your exposures are bad -- it's difficult to tell on monitor)!. But he's right in terms of thinking about what the general public may need!. If you have a specific niche & style, that could work too -- but is generally more difficult to get started!. If you correct your exposures post of processing, most companies can tell -- via looking for "clipping" in your histograms!. You also need to consider what the minimum file sizes that the agency requires!. Other than that, looks pretty good!. You are leaving a little cropping room, & room for "copy!." As a side tip, when you take a photo -- follow up with both a horizontal & vertical when possible (to allow for more possibilities)!. Finally, yes!.!.!. change the website name!. Good luck! Www@QuestionHome@Com Honestly, not likely!. Images are mostly overprotected - over-saturated, over-brightended, you choose the word!. I know you can say it's your personal style, but stock is not about YOUR style, it's about what people may need, and it's usually a pretty standard, well balanced style of images!. Most sites I know will require you to give them samples of your work before accepting you!. Sites like http://www!.istockphoto!.com and http://www!.dreamstime!.com and particularly hard to get onto!. Try learning more about stock images in general first, or if you want to try right away, you can give http://www!.shutterpoint!.com a try - no approval is needed there but you pay them a small membership fee to join!. Oh, you may want to stop using you xxx thing in the url, it will scare most people away!.Www@QuestionHome@Com Their so-so, not great!. I don't see where any but 1 or 2 are good!.
