Selecting Categories

I recently submitted two images of the same subject matter, but photographed in different orientations. One was a vertical shot to emphasize the background architecture, directing attention away from a  foreground of vivid yellow gingko leaves. The other was a horizontal shot to place emphasis on the foreground's vivid yellow gingko leaves.

 

So my question is, when you submit two images of the same subject matter, is it best to submit them both to the same category? Or is this a decision that revolves more around purpose?

 

I ended up submitting both as Landscapes. However, my initial thought was Travel for the horizontal/architecture( Japanese ), and Landscape for vertical/gingko leaves. My reasoning was, I thought they might not appear together if the were listed in different categories.

For all the good those categories do, you probably could have put it under "People" and it wouldn't have mattered much. I doubt they have anything whatsoever to do as far as search results are concerned. It's said they are holdovers from the Fotolia days.

Thank you. That is good to know as sometimes I find I get caught up in deciding which category to assign.

Put your efforts into meaningful keywords, titles and descriptions. That's what gets your images in front of potential buyers.

 

Good luck.
