Very nice and I love the diagonal framing.

I agree with John completely here. You may not get a response, but if you do then you need to appear professional.Smeggypants wrote:

I'd happily apply 'real' rates to anyone playing fair.
I get it, you can be sure, but why be silly and ask for something that's going to price us out of the market? It's merely a commercial arrangement, so we need to be in the right ball park or we won't get anything. Where's the profit in that?johnriley wrote:

Not all requests from image sharing sites are of this nature so acting professional ,polite and asking a reasonable fee will be good practice.
I had a request for the use of a image of a lamb seen on my PBase site a few years ago from the Dean of a New Zealand University, he said it was better than any of the local lamb ones he had looked at (go figure) for a magazine advertisement for the coming years courses.
Not knowing anything about rates I suggested a fee of £100 for a one off use of the image to which he was amicable. I may have undersold it but I gained and he was happy which is how it should be.

Just got my first Pentax yesterday and had to try it out in the back garden.
Love the 50-200mm kit lens that these were taken with, not so keen on the 18-55mm lens thought so I feel a lens upgrade coming on.

Just joined and just got my very first Pentax dslr (the Kr)yesterday and thought I would say hi.
Not new to photography but brand new to Pentax and I am really enjoying this little camera after just one day. Really impressed with the image quality from the few pics I took in the garden yesterday!

If at a later date you wished to go for something like Photoshop CS5 then what you have learnt on PSE9 will stand you in good stead and lessen the learning curve as they are similar.
