The weekend just started and I just got my 2nd “initial rating” and an acceptance to the “Vetta” Collection on iStock.
“Initial rating” means that the admin reviewing and accepting a file for the iStockphoto site is rating the file as “very nice” (5 stars).
Selected photos can also be nominated for a premium collection on iStockphoto. In this case the admin did the nomination and raised it to “Vetta” status. That’s rather rare and I was specially surprised that this image was selected:

Helicopter in Ski Resort

Anyway, I’m happy and I hope it sells

For anybody that doesn’t understand a word on this post, beside other activities, I am selling my images on a Micro-Stock Site, called iStockphoto. On iStockphoto people can buy images (stock images) for commercial advertising or commercial presentations for little money.

iStock has been announcing changes in the contributor pay plans. These new plans create a load of reactions (mainly negative) in the contributors community.
