This was taken with a Kodak Point&shoot few years before. Is this worth to be included in the first 10. Also now i have a Fuji Film s4000, 14 MP. with 30x Zoom, with Aperture, shutter & Manual Modes. Will this be enough. It doesn't have RAW & also i can't do manual focus.
Eagerly awaiting for your suggestions.

Actually don't bother, it has other problems the strong contrast between the tree and fog in the background draws too much attention from the flower itself.
Additionally flowers are not easily accepted in the first 10, unless they are exceptional and lit perfectly.
So short answer can it and move on.

Try to forget stuff you did years ago. Start today and go shoot some stock, make it yours, be unique.As a old reviewer I lived for the time I saw something different.

Thats a tough question. A camera is a camera it's really you my friend that decides what you can do and can't do. There are quite a few here that do reasonably well with lower end equipment. I looked up the specs on your camera, it only shoots Jpeg which is fine I guess as I shoot Jpg also. It's just very limited as to the features it can do. Im not saying Im special But if Thats all I had, i could probably do OK with it after some testing only because I know what to look for and how to compensate for it.That camera is more of a High end point and shoot which means it's limited but there are tricks to overcome this which makes it tougher for inexperienced people.
Don't get confused by what megapixels are, it's the size of the chip thats important. My camera was $5000 Body only and is only 12 megapixels, More is not better when the chip is that small.Just practice and practice,Learn exposure,Keep it on the lowest ISO and with that camera learn WB and how it effects Image for example in the sun set it to cloudy or shade for a more saturated look.use your little popup flash for fill outdoors. So...Bottom Line it's about your eye,Shooting subjects that are stock worthy. And understanding composition. And if your gonna do Flowers and such they have to be spectacular.Good Luck.
