For a few years now I have been working with AGE fotostock and OSF Oxford Scientific (with any surplus images sent to Alamy), but i still kept trying for one of the 'big boys'. Earlier this year I got accepted in to Getty. It has taken a few years but I guess it pays to be persistent!
Congrats Enrique on this accomplishment, as well as the fine work that was selected too.

It says your images are under the Photographer's Choice category. If I'm not mistaken that is the one where you have to or did at one time have to pay $50 per placed image. Given the de-valuation of photography the past few years, Getty included, that would only really make sense for cream of the crop marketable stuff. Good thing you have some killer shots, so congrats.

The bear photo they took is exactly what I was trying to achieve with the lizard! So I was right that it can be a powerful shot if done right. The B is OOF but sharp enough to be parsed by the brain.
Getty have a very strict policy, they send you a PDF doc with the specks and the info for you to follow. For Image size they require between 47.5 and 52Mb (8bit RGB)

It is a small initial upload, now I need to build up the numbers.
The best part is that I didn't have to pay a cent
