(even tho I'd rather the bear be in their natural habitat). Children marvel at the polar bear swimming underwater in its enclosure. Budapest Zoo, Hungary. Wonderful image.

Ethnicity? Diversity? Also be sure to check in All of Alamy what clients are looking for when they use the keyword marvel. (It's pretty easy to guess, but I had no idea it was that clear.) In https://www.alamy.com/Customersearch/Customersearchhistory.aspx set the date back as far as possible; use %marvel% as the search term; click on UCO to see the most used keywords / search phrases first. While you're at it, try %child%zoo% and %zoo%child%. Ouch! - I would have thought it would be a wonderful subject too. So maybe the conceptual keywords learning and interacting will have to do the heavy lifting. Try them in AoA to see how clients use those. Hmm. Ok on the plus side there has been 1 search for zoo polar bear children in AoA for the running year. And this little series of three do stand out. However this specific image somehow is the last of the three. Still on 5th row (@100/page @10/ row) which is not too bad. There are one or two strong contenders on the page though. Only 219 images of polar bears and children in a zoo anyway. Wow! And not all images show polar bears of course. Nor are all images showing children. Like also on that first page: First page for zoo polar bear children remember. AlbertSnapper, Chuck, great image but keywording this one is not easy. wim Edited August 20, 2019 by wiskerke typo Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

cbimages Posted August 25, 2019 Share Posted August 25, 2019 Love finding the little things underwater. Sea snail crawling on sand, about 12mm shell length. It's always a challenge to capture the animal's eye. A very trusting shrimp, commensal on crinoids. and always the same colour as the host. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

And I can tell you that I have myself already seen crocodile just there and not far from there... Yes, I am not really good at keywording... When you put a word like "fool-hardy" do you put the hyphen or not? Thank you for your time. Regis Edited August 29, 2019 by Regis To ask a question...

NYCat Posted August 29, 2019 Share Posted August 29, 2019 I don't know for sure about the hyphen but it seems to me sometimes it just disappears in the tags. I bet someone else knows. I tend to do all possible versions. I just tried searching in Alamy for fool-hardy and the preferred version seems to be foolhardy. I didn't see any hyphens and sometimes fool and hardy were separated. I suspect that is from the old version of the image manager. This one seems to be pretty good at keeping words together if you are using a comma before and after. Paulette 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
