This is my second blog post. I now have 25 uploaded images and an dismal approval rating of 18.3% :-(. It has been a rough road so far but I’m still learning and glad to have the pictures online that I do! I have my fingers crossed for my five pending files.
My main reason for writing is that I still haven’t had a single download and wondering if this was normal for things to be really slow. About how often do you have a download per uploaded picture??
How about…
(Number of pictures uploaded / downloads per month / 30) = downloads per day per picture.
I have read through many of your helpful blogs but I’m still not sure that I’m making the best use of my keywords. I would be grateful if you have any... [ Read more... ]

Hi,
Just as an example, your image 7434723 "Alpine Lake" you have the following keywords.
altitude blue glacier high kettle lake mountain mountains rock rocky snow trees
As an example, try adding these
Nature,landscape,vista,panorama,outdoors,flora,rockface,forest,water,canyon,outside,secluded,remote,countryside,unihabited,scene,scenery,scenic,tranquil,serene,ethereal,terrain,heavenly,celestial,inspiration etc…
Use thesaurus.com and enter key word for alternate words.
Regards,
Warren

Now with 31 uploads, I feel I’m finally hitting my stride.
Before uploading or taking the photo I now ask myself the question (what others have suggested)... “Will this photo be useful/desirable to others?”
I've learned this is actually a tough question to honestly ask oneself.
Despite my new found confidence and understanding of what DT wants, I recently had two photos refused that I thought were "sure things".
I will continue to try to think out of the box and hopefully continue to get some good shots.
How do you like the "Eating Crabs" photo? Trust me, it was very difficult to get. The little guy refused to come out of his shell!
Talk about a hand cramp!
I've also learned that a great subject just isn't great without... [ Read more... ]
