Well, your first problem is that you are spelling "boobie" wrong. It is "booby". Look here:

http://dictionary.reference.com/browse/booby

If you do a search for "booby" and "boobies" you will get 20 results for both.

Enjoy!!!!


LOL! I wasn't expecting you to reply hehe ;)

Thanks for the reply. If there are going to be some words that never yeild the same results then we need to be able to enter both those words in our keywords. Right now if we enter smile and smiling one will automatically get deleted.

The only one I found a problem with is ball and balls. The "run, runner, running" should not yiled the same results each time since 2 are verbs and one is a noun.

brussel/brussels (perhaps by design so as not to confuse the sprouts with the geographical location? Would be nice if brussels could bring up brussel though, for those who misspell brussels sprouts during a search, and for those who have keyworded the misspelling)

(thanks)

Wow, "stunning model" .. I've just made a friend on Shutterstock! :) Yep, that is indeed me.

I'm just starting to get more into shooting food (I figure I love to eat, so why not) and am constantly perusing the produce aisle for interesting foods. When I saw brussels sprouts on a stalk (which I never knew was their process) for sale at the local grocery, I knew I had to shoot it. I'm trying to like them .. we cooked 'em all up .. half are still in the fridge, I have to admit.

Thanks for the compliment on the pic. :) Now I'm off to check out your food photography!

Im not sure about "egg" and "eggs" but...

"bacon egg"
produces different results from
"bacon eggs"
(without the inverted commas)

Are you actually using the quotation marks when you do the search, or is that what you were referring to when you said "inverted commas"?

I've had problems with my aviation images where I basically have to make a choice between "airline" or "airlines". One could be a part of the name so they are not itechnageable. My solution so far have ben to submit two similar photos, not the same but similar in composition and use airline in one then airlines in the other

Please do not do this. All you have to do is enter the plural only. It will show up in searches for the plural and the singular form.

Please give me an instance when "walked" or "walks" would be used in a search and I will review whether we should reconsider our stance.


Photo of a woman walking on the beach = walks

photo of the foot prints left behind = walked
