Starting out on Dreamstime     posted on 11th of january, 2008

I was so happy to see that 6 of my first 38 submitted files were accepted! Of course a higher percentage would have been better, but I feel like the rejections will help me understand the requirements more completely. A bit of a thrill to see that little copywrite C next to my name... :)

How thrilling for you, congrats and welcome also! You have a lovely collection of images here so far! ;) And, thanks kindly for your comment on my first blog... I also enjoy the seascapes and desert regions... ALL landscapes appeal to me overall....

I feel for you, I have had the same thing, but practice makes perfect. I am up to 17, but as I get some of the rejections I am starting to understand more where I lack the technical skills. Keep shooting ;-)

Thanks Charles! I was pretty happy that my percentage of acceptance has increased. I've been a lot more selective on exposures especially. :)

I see you are up to 19 uploads! Great progress!

AmyEmilia, thanks for the story of your name. Your metaphor of the bridge is really moving.

About the Matera photo: I would encourage you to dial back with the processing and see how it looks. It's a beautiful photo, and I think it has potential once it's accepted here.

Hi! Welcome on DT. Only 6 files, but... beautiful shots! Congrats! I like very much all your photos. Especially this one showing the Pantheon roof and the Joshua trees. Good luck for the future! Rob.

    About Me
Amy Nicolai (Amyemilia)
Houston, US

I've been taking photographs since I was in my early teens, and I embraced the digital format in 2003, almost 40 years later. Now, I'm venturing into selling my work, and my entries on Dreamstime are my first effort. Please feel free to provide comments and criticism - I am always learning!

I maintain a Flickr photostream as well as my blog site above. My user name on Flickr is AmyEmilia (surprise, eh!)
