The MSC Gülsün just leaving Felixstowe on Saturday. Astonishing.

Well, that was quick. This image has just sold through Alamy for $191! I’m quite chuffed all over again!

Her skin looks spookily 'velvety', presumably a process?

Nice one Tony! How does Alamy work? How much of that $191 do you get to keep?

I keep $116 ish.

I’ve no idea what the latest requirements for being accepted are, but it’ll be simple enough. Probably just load ten images onto their QA site, they’ll check them, and if they’re up to requirements you’ll be accepted.
After that, send in as many as you want, QA takes a few days, and then they’ll appear on your page awaiting keywording etc.
My images bypass QA as I’m a goody goody!

Please note that the QA checks are for sharpness, pixel count, etc, NOT artistic merit.
It’s not for everyone, but I’m a lazy git with a full time job.

Thanks for the info - much appreciated.

Haha - that fits my description too

Not really. It is simply lit from behind. A bare bulb head behind a large scrim. No front lighting so the light wraps around.

Here is some colour

It'd make a good jigsaw puzzle.

This leaf certainly caught my attention in one of the glasshouses at Cambridge University Botanic Garden today

I must down to the sea again...

A short walk in the Lake District. I'd forgotten just how beautiful it is, even on a dull day.

Padley gorge where they have rocks so sharp they cut your shin and make the bottom half on one trouser leg get soaked in blood.
