Hello,
I recently shot excotic butterflies. I have about 17 of them I really find good. But, when searching the site I noticed there are approx 1087 butterfly pictures already online.
So my question is.....
Should I upload them or is the change big they all get rejected because of to many on site. Some excamples below....
Greetzz from Belgium,
Patrick. |

Are they as good as what you can see on here already (I'd say so, they look to be pretty fine shots) - if so, and especially if they're higher quality than some of them, submit away... do the search for butterflies, sort it by 'most popular', and honestly rate yours against what you see... if you're in the first few hundred images, then you should see them accepted - at least, if the site follows the principles I understand of stock, exceptional work will get approved, the lower quality stuff will get audited out, if there is 'too many on site'... :-)
Cheers,
Stuart |

On you go, they're great.
Not trying to patronise, more of a just in case: Remember not to submit with borders otherwise you will get them rejected. :-) |

If you don't submit you've no chance of acceptance.
These examples are good, they deserve a chance. Send them in, it's SS loss if they are not accepted. Someone else will accept them and you will make money.
