Harry, you might want to caption this beautiful saleable image and several others on the same page: https://www.alamy.com/zhh008-image224968972.html?pv=1&stamp=2&imageid=ED4633A8-2312-4978-9DAB-F8393B31656D&p=705462&n=0&orientation=0&pn=16&searchtype=12&IsFromSearch=1&srch=foo%3dbar%26st%3d12%26pn%3d16%26ps%3d100%26sortby%3d2%26resultview%3dsortbyPopular%26npgs%3d0%26qt%3d%26qt_raw%3d%26lic%3d3%26mr%3d0%26pr%3d0%26ot%3d0%26creative%3d%26ag%3d0%26hc%3d0%26pc%3d%26blackwhite%3d%26cutout%3d%26tbar%3d0%26et%3d0x000000000000000000000%26vp%3d0%26loc%3d0%26imgt%3d0%26dtfr%3d%26dtto%3d%26size%3d0xFF%26archive%3d1%26groupid%3d%26pseudoid%3d%26a%3d%26cdid%3d%26cdsrt%3d%26name%3dMark%20Harrison%26qn%3d%26apalib%3d%26apalic%3d%26lightbox%3d%26gname%3d%26gtype%3d%26xstx%3d0%26simid%3d%26saveQry%3d%26editorial%3d1%26nu%3d%26t%3d%26edoptin%3d%26customgeoip%3dGB%26cap%3d1%26cid%3dAHY26R2A2NUU2TP53UBTPRD6VCE3W3FTTNYK3CXABJVPSYUL26N66BE3G276YDB9%26vd%3d0%26lb%3d%26fi%3d2%26edrf%3d0%26ispremium%3d1%26flip%3d0%26pl%3d

Yes, No problems with getting accepted as the image quality I'm getting from my Olympus OMD-EM1 mark 1 (Micro Four Thirds sensor 17.3mm x 13mm, 16mp) is excellent. It's only when shooting above iso 1600, which I try not to do, will a full frame get me better results. The new model Olympus OMD-EM1 mark 2 is supposed to be a big improvement over my older model, but I'm happy with it so won't be upgrading for sometime. I only have the M.Zuiko 40-150 f2.8 lens at the moment and use via an adapter my 55mm Micro Nikkor which benefits from the IBIS (in body image stabilization). For Wide shots I usually carry a compact Canon G1x III (24mp APS-C). Till recently I did own and use for alamy submissions: Nikon D3, D700 ,D7100, D700, D90 & D2x Canon 1D III and Canon 6D Fuji X-T10, X-M1 & X100F I've ony been uploading images taken with my Olympus since the beginning of April 2019, so It's way too soon to make any inference about sales, though I really dont think it makes a blind bit of difference what camera you take the shot with, so long as the final output is up to alamy QC standards. Many people here are using camera's with 1 inch sensors (12.8mm x 9.6mm) which in good light is plenty good for alamy. I even for a short while used a 1 inch sensor Canon G5x compact which was great upto iso 800, but a couple of weeks later sold it and replaced it with my similar sized Canon G1x III.

Yes, already familiar with this bird from my childhood days in Singapore & Malaysia.

Well done Luke, keep up the good work, you have some great images on your port.

1st picture looks like California towhee (Melozone crissalis), 2nd & 3rd picture is of a Spotted towhee (Pipilo maculatus) also called rufous sided towhee.

Down to only 6 sales for $301 from last months 12 sales for £298, since I got more revenue per sale (two sales were for $$$)..so have to say a good month.😎

The Canon G1X iii is small high quality weather sealed campact camera with an 24mp APS-C sensor (same as in the 80D dslr). Its has a very sharp 24-70mm (35mm equiv.) lens. Focus is very fast and it has fantastic ergonomics, a pleasure to use. It fits in my jacket pocket. You can get smaller APS-C compacts, but they all have a fixed focal length wide lens like the Ricoh GRii & GRiii, Fuji X70 & XF10 and Nikon Coolpix A. I've sold off all my big heavy Nikon and Canon Dslr's & lenses. I now just carry the Canon G1X iii in my pocket and an Olympus EM1 with 40-150mm f2.8 (80-300 eqiv.) in my small canvas satchel.

If say tomorrow you happen to be the only photographer to snap a plane crash or be in the thick of it during a Brexit riot, then of course alamy loses if you have to send your exclusive pics to someone else, regardless of your past track record.

Looks like a Cayuga duck to me. Parm

So sorry, wish you and your family the best of luck. Parm

Maybe the Alamy live news team can say why there aren't any alamy images in any of these picture of the day publications? https://www.theguardian.com/news/gallery/2019/apr/05/grave-sweeping-day-and-a-gold-coast-cutback-fridays-top-photos https://www.telegraph.co.uk/news/2019/04/05/pictures-day-5-april-2019/view-electricity-wires-caracas-venezuela-west-venezuela-started/ https://www.standard.co.uk/news/world/best-pictures-of-the-day-a3648561.html To boot out photographers isn't going to improve sales. Get your sales team to do what the other sales teams manage to do day after day.

Well done Alan, and an excellent set of images you have. Parm
