Take the $200 and run. Few people are interested in a 300 pic set, other than to weed out the best 100 of the bunch. Furthermore, $200 is a good deal (for the photographer) for a softcore set.
The business is much different than it was a few years ago, or even 2 years ago. Digital SLR's have broken the $1000 threshold, and everybody fancies themself a photographer these days.

While not disparging your work, (as you know, I truly appreciate your style); technically excellent photos are not required for the net, and rarely recognized.

We have access to technically perfect and more artistic photographers, but prefer to shoot at a slightly less quality in the name of efficiency. For $150-$200 I can shoot a model for 4 hours, and get 20 sets of solo content, including toys plus about 40 minutes of video.

Interestingly enough, our most artistic (and technically proficient) content is the least popular with our members. Webmasters love it, but it's a tough sell.
