The best for me, with iStock at a close second and Shutterstock at a less close third (but with a smaller portfolio). What's interesting is that different photos sell at those 3 sites. Apparently they have a different customer base.

The site is very well programmed and stable, with clever features. The forum is very active. The marketing is clever. And their rating of submissions is always very consistent.

Trades places with IS as my #2 site. Tougher than other sites with approvals, but definitely worth the effort.

Well normally July-August seems slow, but for me, they were top months at Dreamstime. Maybe because my portfolio is growing and getting more varied. But I have the impression DT is growing fast, I even recently sold photos now that were around there for 11 months without any sales before.

I think they are strong on two points. First of all programming, their php's are fast and bug-free. Then the leading guy (Serban) is not only a good manager but also a great photographer. It's very unusual to combine a good manager and a great artist in one single person.

I would certainly concentrate on Dreamstime. If they keep going like this, and Serban isn't going to trade in his shares for a yacht and a win-for-life, they will surpass Getty's iStock in 1-2 years.

My third best after IS and SS, great site, I just need to become a better photographer and I might sell even more.
