a pink duck!:)))

is it the same with alamy?
hmm, what should I do with my other shots...

Leroy and Don, your photos are perfect technically. but I don't have any lighting. I can't without PS unfortunately, becaue my small yellow home lamps and window light just is not enough to take even the simplest "studio" shots. and those foil reflectors are horrible without spot correcting afterwards.
ok, I have to either learn more about lighting (what I do anyway) and try to use what I have or forget about selling anything for some years.
I think the 2nd variant is more real now:)

well, *off to take a shot of a tennis ball using a home lamp and a built-in cam flash*

I understand that. I tried to choose some very simple shots that I have, no editing, no b&w like this one:
or this:
but probably they were not suitable for them as well:(


Silverfoxx, are you sure stock is the path you want to take? Your photo are wonderful, but stock is a different beast. The idea, is to have a "generic" enough image that it can be used for multiple advertising purposes. Though, I am not saying stock can't be artisic, it can. Your images are just more stylistic, while great it would be hard to use them for more than one or two ads at most (they are too recongizable).

With that, if you are looking at making a career with photography, why don't you try portraits? Either a private studio or freelance work. You have an amazing eye and work extremely well with light. From one Team Suck member to another.

I don't see any thing in the TOS at shutterstock that says no.
