I am guessing one of the major photo agencies has complained that having paid a fortune to be sole photo supplier lots of freelances have been getting in on the act also...

Do you generally get photo credits on greeting cards?

Only other photographers look at photo credits, ask what they are offering and then negotiate upwards, if they won't budge then the choice is yours only you can decide if the price is good.

Be aware you are issuing a licence to print for cards, you are not handing over copyright or ownership of the image, if it's a decent company they will know this and explain what they are paying for...

Congrats too...

Very nice, think I would have lowered the camera on the bottom shot yo remove the sea? From the horizon.

Beautiful colours though.

I saw one in the photo pit at Glastonbury last year and got really excited, unfortunately he was Japanese and couldn't speak English so I pointed out my k-5 and he smiled.

He was using a istd with an fa* 80-200mm drool drool...

As smeggy says re softness and use of shutternspeed.

I would have also taken advantage of the k-r's high fops to get better framing. Image four for example a split second later would have had a more complete image with the cyclists filling the frame.

5 could have done with better composition, I think e rule of thirds would have helped enormously and the cropped far wheel doesn't help, the last two do nothing for me sorry

Hmm interesting read, most people walk past conflict or danger, it's inbuilt within us, don't believe it? Watch this

Or google milligram experiments.

Photographers on their own cant change outcomes by themselves, their work can.

Paparazzi are not commercial photographers, they are commercial bodies that is it...
