Identification Errors

"You seem to say don't be wrong." Yes "If a buyer is unsure of my caption, he checks it himself." No - a thousand times no. Someone back me up?- 56 replies

Identification Errors
Chrissie replied to Marmot's topic in Stock photography discussion and contributor experience
Exactly - Mark 1 or Mark 2 is very important. That's correct identification. Botanists, train experts, whatever, if you don't know, give a generic label or don't submit. I've apologised for the incorrect spelling on my correct identification. There is a difference between submitting because you're 100% sure and submitting because Alamy Forum ID'ed it for you. If you don't know don't submit.- 56 replies

And why should you - well said. Well, I suggest the good people of the "Have you found" threads will send an invoice to Alassandra and Chrissie when they spot one of their images. And no, I won't add a smiley. B.t.w. Chrissie, it's Trachyaretaon brueckneri NOT Trachyaretaon Bruekneri. That'll be $25.00 thank you very much! Did you thank John for correcting your dragonfly picture for ...... free? Cheers, Philippe +1 It is like in real life, some do see competition, others community and a few appreciate opportunities for give and take. And some recognise that- 56 replies

I have made my feelings clear before when 'ID Requests Please' appear on the forum and the OP accepts the 'best answer' regardless... If you're not 100% sure on the details don't submit the image no matter how brilliant it is. If it's brilliant and you want to submit then only keyword what you know (bird, summer, blue, insect, USA) etc. I am astounded by 'professionals' on here who think it's OK to guess an ID rather than accepting it's not clearly ID'ed and generic/general details only can be given. On previous experience I expect to be shot down again - but I'll stick with it, if you don't- 56 replies

Gull ID
Chrissie replied to Betty LaRue's topic in Stock photography discussion and contributor experience
Are you 100% sure (not 99%)? If not it's an 'Immature gull in flight' -
Is a shadow a person?

Nor is a silhouette! -
Is a shadow a person?
Chrissie replied to John Mitchell's topic in Stock photography discussion and contributor experience
"f the person in your image can recognise themselves in any way, you’ll need a model release to sell as RF or for commercial use. This includes crowd scenes, parts of the body or silhouettes." I would count a shadow as a silhouette. http://www.alamy.com/contributor/how-to-sell-images/model-property-releases-stock-images/?section=7 -
