I too know nothing about stock photography. So not sure what they are looking for.
I like your shot but think maybe a bit bland, maybe it needs to be a bit more dramatic.
I rotated a little, changed color tone a bit, boosted contrast and darkened. Also sharpened to give more texture to wire.


I do like this rework.

Since I am a newbie, I have to ask...What is Stock photography? Sorry if this is an annoying question but just wondering?


A question is only annoying if you need to repeat it ;)

Here is the official Webopedio definition

stock photo

Stock photos (stock photography) are professional photographs of common places, landmarks, nature, events or people that are bought and sold on a royalty-free basis and can be used and reused for commercial design purposes. The photographer (or stock photography distributor) has ownership to the images, and the commercial designer has some limited usage of the photo (which is set out in the Terms of Service by the company you purchase the stock photos from). Some conditions of use may include things such as use of the images is licensed, not sold or in case of a stock photo being used in a magazine there may be a maximum number of copies of the image allowed to be printed under the agreement. Terms of Service policies will differ between stock photography distributors.
Stock photography is a cost-effective method for designers to obtain professional photos and images without the costs of hiring a photographer directly. Stock photos and stock photography refer to the images purchased under this distribution method and may be photos, computer generated graphics, clip-art, vectors, and other form of imagery. Today stock photos can be purchased through a subscription and downloaded from a stock photography distributor's Web site or purchased as a CD-ROM collection. :-D :D :D :D

Just had to do one more as your photo is not just simple but sends a message in so many ways, the background is a picture I took while on vacation, blended with yours and a little PS magic.

I like that!! It would be better if I can find the original non-sepia version. I'll look for it tonight.

I, being an honors graduate of the "Maynard G. Krebs School of Work-Ethic", cringe at the thought of all the effort you folks have put into this photo. I appreciate every one! That's how we learn.

Plush Toy, I am impressed with the magic, but the composition is not right yet.

I spent 5 seconds on this as is obvious. I was just trying to find a background that I like.

Very good, the background needs to be a bit more clean. Personally I think you spent a little more than 5 seconds.

Thank you! And what did you do to get sentenced to MCAS?? :D

Actually, there's worse duty stations. I was ALMOST sent to French Frigate Shoal. :shock: THEN I was one hair-breadth of going to Midway...but after much begging, pleading and sucking up I found myself in the BIG TIME of San Miguel, about thirty miles north of Subic, Philippines. WHEW!! :shock: :shock:

It's an interesting image. . . mine I decided to take it in a little more abstract direction. I just did a few things but then wasn't real sure where it was going. Warped it and sharpened the barbs and set it on black. . . Still not sure where it could be used.
