Wow! At least to me. I submitted 4 photos to....

Dreamstime Stock Photo and they accepted 3 of them.
Probably not a big deal but it gets me kinda excited and maybe just the push I needed.
I know I post sporadically here, at best, but it was your encouragement that got me going in this direction.
Thanks.

kept coming up.
from what I read it is very legitimate. I couldn't tell you how it compares to Istock. It would be interesting to submit the same photos there and see whether they pass muster there.

I had the option of giving them exclusivity and I would get a bit more money when the picture was sold but I declined.

as I'm entering some stuff at a gallery. If I sell to dreamtime, do I lose my right to sell my pics as art in a gallery?

Go to their site and look at the legals. I believe they have no exclusivity.
