Many thanks for the spot SShep ..... appreciated !

Many thanks for the spot Russel ....

Thanks Sharon .... I think you are correct ... just looked at some images on line and they look exactly the same !

Thanks John .... the 'Maya" or "Black Eyed Susan" is the closest I can find ... the only mismatch is they appear to have fine bristles on the stems whereas the ones I have images of, don't !!

Thanks Dave .... I think it is a Dahlia but not sure of the variety ... so just Dahlia will have to do for now !!

Hi, Could anyone please identify what this yellow flower is - Thanks !!

Fair enough ! Then you remember the effort it used to take to grow our portfolios with Alamy ! It is up to us to cull if we think it is needed, not to have it enforced upon us arbitrarily !

Sorry Bob.... but, NO !! Many contributors here were with Alamy years before you joined and went through the lengthy process of scanning negs and slides, hours retouching and submitting TIFF files on disc .... do you really expect contributors, myself included, to ditch 10% of those images, many of which still licence? Sure, they may not look as good as they would if processed using modern up to date software but culling these is not really the answer in my opinion. Alamy used to have a USP of having a collection that contained images that, in the main, could not be found anywhere else ... that's what drew the clients. For reasons best known to Alamy, they ditched that USP and started to import collections from other agencies ... resulting in the clients seeing repeats of the same images that had already been seen on numerous other agencies ... thus Alamy joined the race to the bottom. I think that if any culling needs to be done, it is the removal of these collections that have not even been through QC .... Alamy needs to start looking back at what made it so successful in the earlier years.... including offering a fair split of the fees obtained. Ditching PU would also be a good move ! Just my personal thoughts ....

Almost certainly !!

Sounds like a good opportunity to travel and earn !! https://www.thisisinsider.com/family-advertises-for-100k-photographer-job-travelling-the-world-diving-maldives-skiing-alps-2018-12?utm_content=buffera75fb&utm_medium=social&utm_source=facebook.com&utm_campaign=buffer-insider-main&fbclid=IwAR0yf6rPoeIBVY3nEXmeHSkL12Ble6MFNwdTV3_eHd2uRBOoQBod8isHwao
