Below are my two model releases. Do you think that these will do for uploading images to stock sites?

Also, for some I do not have witness info - it was just the model signing. What do you think about that?

i was also planning on uploading portrait and semi-nude shots to dpcprints. so one question that came to my mind when reading this was do i really need to have a model release or is it ok if i have verbal agreement with my model (who is a good friend of mine btw)?

(sorry for sorta hijacking the thread)
