    <p>That's actually quite good retouching - it takes time per photo to apply the right filters. The question is what your rates could be. I don't think comparing this to something from a third world country is sound because you can 'theoretically' get a lot of work done for cheap in India, but you have no accountability. People come and go constantly there.</p>

    <p>It is definitely fulfilling to get a nicely framed shot outside of the studio. But I think until I see it after post production I don't get to fully appreciate it.</p>

    <p>As long as you get permission from the owners, promoting the images should be no problem. Another option is to 'macro' your shots - use portions of the whole image where the people are not so visible, and do it artistically to demonstrate your technical expertise. Being in stock photography you learn to play with scenes to remove familiar faces.</p>

    <p>Do they want exclusive rights to the images? Are they going to be using it as a branding mechanism permanently?<br> You need to figure out if you have any sort of consumer monopoly over what they want. What that means is, do they want YOUR image, or any images that resembles yours in tone and feel.<br> That will outline whether you will price it just as stock media, or as a unique purchase.</p>

    <p>There is no harm in applying to Shutterstock and see how you do. The revenue you generate through these places is not very large anymore.<br> You can also try selling independently to hedge your bets through something like Symbiostock or Symzio. Apply to a variety of agencies to maximize revenue.<br> Shutterstock has started making it extremely easy to become a contributor now.</p>

    <p>As smaller sensors will provide a greater telephoto effect, I am assuming that camera shake will be more prevalent in a simulated longer shot.</p>

    Photo appears a bit soft - try to get the focus sharper, or use a sharper lens if this is caused by it. Doesn't appear to have much post-processing done to it - is it a JPEG out of the camera? Always try to shoot in RAW and do some adjustments post. Cameras rarely bring out the widest range out of the box and every image, without exception, can use some post production. I think the framing is pretty good, as is the subject matter. The technical drawbacks are what hurt it!

    <p>I'll be honest - I think you should examine the options based on what interchangeable lenses you will be able to afford in addition to the camera's features. Lots of manufacturers have hidden gems in their legacy lenses, and not all of them are created equal.<br> I'm a Sony user, for example, and there aren't many of us. But in my opinion, the A99 is pretty much the best camera I've ever used, and I only use legacy minolta lenses on it.</p>
