This week Anne has set the Lens-Artists challenge. She’s asked us to match five to ten images, scavenged from our portfolios, to a list of themes she has provided. You can find Anne’s original post here.
Here are my scavenged images:
Thank you Anne for hosting a great challenge.

Steve, great collection of scavenged items! My favorite is that one-green-eyed cat!
Thank you John 🙂
Oh my Stephen, these are superb! I’m going with the shoelaces, the camera and the bi-colored cat eyes but honestly any one of your images could be on a favorites list!
Thank you Tina
Wonderful finds for this challenge! My favorite is something with a camera!
Thank you Beth 🙂
Oh my Steve, what a collection! I love your wife’s jewelry, the cat with one green eye and the little hedgehog. Actually, I loved them all!
Thank you Anne 🙂
😊
oh my goodness…that hedgehog! A great and creative collection, Steve. I especially love the shoelaces. Lots of work put into that.
Thank you Donna. Little Sid is going home tomorrow but I think he has another bath time scheduled in for the morning 🙂
Wonderful gallery, Steve. The plane shadow and green robot are my favorites. Oh, add to that the hedgehog. What a cutie!
Thank you Egidio 🙂
Now that I’ve started thinking of stock photography I can see it cleary in your work, Steve. You are really good at it 😀
Thank you Sofia. Most of those images were shot with stock in mind. The cup with diffused green tea is a good example. It’s sort of on trend, uncluttered and with areas left for copy space. I’m confident of that selling at some stage. It would have done better on somewhere like Adobe stock but one sell on Alamy could equal more than twenty there. this thread here on the Alamy Forum will show you whats currently selling and the prices. A lot will be linked to current news stories
Thank you, Steve, for the info. I’m currently just uploading to Adobe Stock, I’m testing the waters… 😀
Excellent. Good for you. Don’t get dispirited if they reject some of your submission. I used to get lots of rejections with them. I don’t get any with Alamy. Good thing with Adobe is you should get sales coming through quicker than you would with Alamy. Let me know how you get on and good luck
Thank you so much, Steve for your encouragement. I’m expecting a lot of rejections, so anything that gets through is a win 😀
These are all great images, Steve! An excellent collection for Anne’s challenge. But who keeps a hedgehog pet?? I guess the cat is my favorite. Also liked the shoes.
Thank you Joanne
Awesome shots, goodness I LOVE that little camera one!
Thank you Pamela 🙂
Great gallery, Steve. That hedgehog is adorable!
Thank you Siobhan 🙂
