After reviewing all of the stock photography sites, I came to the following conclusions:
1) Using my iPad as a sanity check (as another way to view and critique my pictures) is something I will continue to do.
2) Dreamstime was the best stock photo site for me.
3) I need to go through and catalog/tag the pictures that I want to submit to stock photography sites. Aperture does this fairly well - I just need to go do it.
4) I need to consider taking my pictures with more solid backgrounds, using this as an example:
5) I need to keep getting out and shooting more. As I've learned with my butterfly pictures in particular, my new pictures don't really look like ones I've taken before - even at the same site. That said, I'm overdue for an orchid reshoot.
So, I've set a few deadlines for myself (which I hope I can meet):
1) One photo shoot by the end of the weekend.
2) Submission of at least ten pictures to a stock photography site.
Wish me luck with that! Next time - my adventures with the butterflies.
