			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>  Just out of curiosity I tried donating an image last month on <a href="http://www.123rf.com/src_astonerattnet" target="_blank">123rf</a>.  I don&#8217;t know if that&#8217;s what helped me get the downloads that I did in January or not, but it was the best month I had there.  So this month I&#8217;m donating several more with some thought involved in which ones I&#8217;m doing.  Here are a couple of the images I&#8217;m donating.</p>
<table width="508" height="199">
<tr>
<td><a href="http://www.123rf.com/photo_4139100.html"><img src="http://us.123rf.com/400wm/400/400/astonerattnet/astonerattnet0901/astonerattnet090100017/4139100.jpg" alt="Red Velvet Heart Box photo" width="234" border="0" height="183" /></a></td>
<td><a href="http://www.123rf.com/photo_3734448.html"><img src="http://us.123rf.com/400wm/400/400/astonerattnet/astonerattnet0810/astonerattnet081000014/3734448.jpg" alt="Goats on picnic table photo" width="234" border="0" height="176" /></a></td>
</tr>
</table>
<p>My thought process was that these are single images similar to several other in my portfolio, so the hope is that the buyers will like these images and want some other images that are similar.  I also updated my &#8216;faved&#8217; images which can also help with downloads.</p>
<p>I&#8217;m also trying to get more deliberate and consistent with my shooting and uploading.  I&#8217;m also wondering a little if I shouldn&#8217;t do some purging of some of my original images.  When I look back at them now I can&#8217;t believe they were even accepted.</p>
