I don't know how anybody (except the site owners) are making any money! | |

I don't recommend stock photography for anyone who is used to being told their images are good; all they'll get from the agencies is that their images aren't good enough. | |

So if you include hazard pay for the trip to the store, the lottery suddenly looks like more effort. ha ha. | |

Absolutely spot on comment!!! Bottomline: if you wouldn't pay for your pictures, why would others?, Enjoy your hobby. | |
