OK, from one stocker to another - I think you need to review how you are taking your photos, and what equipment you're using. I've had a browse of your gallery, and I also noticed that you only had three pieces made from your stock (at least, three pieces in your favourites section.) I don't want you to think that I'm criticising you, I'm just trying to help you get more people to use your stock. I think you might find this link useful, as I wrote it with people like you in mind: [link]
The most obvious problem with this image in particular is the amount of noise. This is probably due to poor lighting. You're usung a canon cybershot, according to the info, which is a good make, so you need to me aware on how you're setting yourself up. In this one, it's obvious it's a selftaken photo....these are USELESS! Trust me, if you're holding the camera and taking a photo, you're far too near the camera, there's camera shake, and the camera just can't produce a good image. Get a friend to take it, or balance the camera on a solid surface and use the timer button. When all's said and done, just read through link I've provided you, and you should be well on your way to making excellent stock images. You've got the right ideas, just not the know-how. But don't worry, we all had to start somewhere. Heck, just take a look at the oldest snaps in my gallery to see how bad I was, then compare them to my latest stock photos!

hey man, criticism helps. i'm no pro, nor do i pretend to be.
i basically live alone.. well, with my BF but he's never home, hes always at work, so my options are very limited.
however i do appreciate all the help and tips you've offered me. i will definitely remember all this information.
90% of the photos i've uploaded are from when i first got the camera, i'm learning how to use it a lot better now.
thanks again, though. you're pretty darn awesome.
