Hey guys,

I was looking around at the posts on stock images and the stickied thread in the resources part of this forum (see, some people use search :P ) but most of the sites seem directed at the budget consumer. I have a budget for my photos however, roughly $500 - $1000, and I was wondering if you guys have recommendations for highly polished image sites where I can get the quality I need at a resolution befitting online presentation.

I'm mostly looking for landscapes and nature scenes, like panoramic type stuff, preferably with people involved but not emphasized.

The best site I've founds so far is http://www.comstockimages.com

Anything similar of the same or better quality?

Thanks a bunch in advance, and sorry if this is a repost and I didn't see some thread somewhere.
