thanks very much for your input Danny... for the moment I'm mainly starting out with a body of St Andrews shots, as god knows I've got enough on my hard drive which are technically fine but which won't really see the light of day otherwise.... the best of these I think will go to macro stock sites, and I don't think I'll ever load much more than 'good snaps' on micro-stock sites. I've been out a couple of times now with 'stock' on the mind and have to say it makes for a whole different mindset when shooting, but I'm sure I'll get used to it given time to get a feel for what 'works' and what doesn't..

I think this might be an appropriate place to also say thank you to David for your help in this area.
