Interesting series with a good uniformity of viewpoint and processing style.. I like the first and last ones very much. Presentation-wise, these would benefit from a little more white space between the photos.

Thanks Toad. They were still rejected by the stock site. I'm about to give up.

Stock photography is a very tricky balancing act. They don't like post processing much because a lot of times, it doesn't scale to large prints well. I also have had no luck securing a stock contract - even though I see a lot of stock photography that is not as good as mine IMO. I suppose you need to think commercially and be really aware of what people want in a stock photo - even things that are not immediately intuitive - such as leaving room for text in the photo. There are several books available from the library on stock photography - they may give you a few hints. Good luck!

Thanks--but you know--i don't really care at this stage. I'm going to forget it.
