Burn Baby Burn

Don't you just love to see those flames appear on Istock? 

If you have no idea what I am talking about, Istock Photo adds an orange flame to a photo once it has reached 100 downloads.  It turns red when it reaches 500, and blue when it reaches - hmmm, 1000?  I'm no where near blue, but my best selling photo is pushing 500 with download #467 today. 

This microstock photo of a farmer in a durum wheat field is my fourth photo to reach 100 sales at Istock; so, burn baby burn!

Do the flames have any relevance other than to give photographers a cheap thrill?  I doubt it, but maybe I'll know when I've hit the big time in this biz... when I stop blogging about little milestones.
