I agree with Nirofo's comments.
There are numerous agencies out there, including agencies who specialise in almost every topic you can imagine. Check out BAPLA, it's an association for photographic agencies and most of the reputable ones will be members.
Some agencies charge a membership fee, i.e. fotolibra, I personally don't know how succesful they are, others such as Alamy don't charge but are very fussy on the quality. My understanding is unless the pictures are truly outstanding, they won't consider anything less than a 48mb file and these size pictures can only be achieved on the high end FF dSLR's.
Be careful wherever you do submit images, check out their policies first - even big organisations like the BBC have a standard submission policy for images, if you send it to them, they can use it whenever and wherever they like, they can send it to whichever company they want to globally and you as the photographer, though still holding the copyright, are not entitled to a penny, (out of kindness though, they will credit you)!
