I made it to 50...     posted on 3rd of march, 2008

Climbing the long ladder to success - I finally made it to 50 approved uploads. There are times when I am completely stumped by the refusal emails... obviously I still don't "get it". But one must soldier on.

This is the 50th image. I do love the colors.

Oh - and I did double my sales. Now that Earnings Balance is up to $1.20! :)

Congratulations on reaching your first goal. Next comes 100......
Your 50th image is very good, great background, I like the tiny prisms of color on the water. Gotta love rainbows, wherever you see them. Here's to your next 50!!! Cheers!

Way to go. Keep up the work. All I can say is the brighter the photo the better. This seems to work for me. Which may require some photoshop. Bright photos stand out more, look better on a thumbnail, and show less noise. You may even try submitting some of the same photos again but a brighter version and see if it would sell more then your original. This photo of yours is a great photo but I have a feeling if it was brightened a little and the white balance adjusted for (less yellow-orange hue), it would sell very well.[imgr]4368164[/imgr]

Congratulations.... it's a great feeling.
Keep shooting!

Way to go, and congratulations! That's my next step, too - only eight more to go. I obviously don't get it, either, as I note by my approval percentage, but I NEVER SAY DIE! Here's to many more to you and many more sales!

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!)
