Images sold in December
MariaJ replied to Nick Hatton's topic in Stock photography discussion and contributor experience
What a lovely bowerbird! They are such interesting birds, attracting mates with their bowers and collections of blue things. You've captured him really well. -
QC Pass Notification Lag
MariaJ replied to Steve Valentia's topic in Stock photography discussion and contributor experience
Yes, same delay in notification here too. I don't think it has anything to do with QC rating. I just check in AIM to see if my submission has passed. -
Alamy Measures update
MariaJ replied to Sally's topic in Stock photography discussion and contributor experience
Don't see a measures update either, but did get a reported sale, and my submission from Friday passed. Didn't get an email for that, but the last time the email showed up days later. -

Surge time?
MariaJ replied to John Mitchell's topic in Stock photography discussion and contributor experience
Had one of those yesterday, for a book about Canada. Both sales and zooms have picked up within the last week, so a bit of a surge happening. -

November doldrums?
MariaJ replied to John Mitchell's topic in Stock photography discussion and contributor experience
Just one PU for me so far. At first I thought this thread was about it getting dark by 4:30 p.m. these days. -

Great idea for a challenge. I love taking city images. Here's the Vancouver skyline at night: Nightlife in the Gastown neighbourhood of Vancouver: And a really tiny little city scene (at Osoyoos Desert Model Railroad):

How was your October?
MariaJ replied to Sultanpepa's topic in Stock photography discussion and contributor experience
Only a couple small sales in October, but other unreported ones have been spotted. Views and zooms very good. -
Thank you John. It was such a pretty setting, with a wonderful path through the woods nearby. Speaking of which, I really like your image of looking up at the cedars.

Flower ID please

Looks like some type of tuberous begonia. I don't know the specific variety. Maria -

I agree that many of your images need better lighting, as well as much better keywording. I took a closer look at one image, HTHBCX, a picture of an old house, because I wasn't sure what I was looking at. I'm still not quite sure, as the caption just identifies the location. Also you have many incorrect keywords for that image, including argentinas flag, boat, boat ride,motor boats, ferry, ship, ships, collective boats, art, - just to name a few! Improper keywording and captioning will sink you in the rankings, which in turn affects where your images appear in customer searches
