Is this an image will sell as stock? Apart from the obvious keywords (house, househould, country etc) are there any others prehaps with a business spin, that anyone can think of without spamming?

Croft, Highland, Rural, Plot

I am of the impression that shots like these do not sell well. I do not think any business orientated words (Cottage perhaps as in cottage business) would be appropriate.

But. If you're willing to try and sell the image, then I say Upload it. I am of the opinion that one day someone may type "unicycle" into shutterstock and I will be rich! So maybe croft will work for you!

I know exactly what you mean Tim. Your unicyclist is a good shot though. Try a Euro lottery ticket tonight. I bought my first one tonight, what dSLR shall I buy with Ł43 million. :-)

yep, I'm with Ron, Get rid of the sky and get some more saturation in the grass, then you will have a seller for the tourism industry
