in the old alamy thread the author said he hired real elephants for this set, must have been a pricey shoot
but definetely paid off !

the thread would really make more sense if we could see the photo you are talking about. The link from the alamy forum, for me anyway, says I don't have permission to see.

Same here. I think you have to be logged in that forum to see it. I also don't see it here since I adblocked all images on the MSG since Leaf really overdid it with the blinking banners. Horrible, I get a headache from it. Embarrassed

They probably reconfigured the server against deep links since you can lose a lot of bandwidth by deeplinkers.
I assume the image is photoshopped. Wink

That's the point and the lesson to learn from that elephant photo.

Artists are able to produce unique images, no matter the competition or the agency or the budget
involved.

Fine. End next week I'll go to Cloud 9, the surfing paradise on Siargao Island not too far away and take some background shots of surfers and waves. Next, I'll shoot everything I find on 4 legs, photoshop it in and sell it for 0.65$. Grin

Welcome to µstock. (this is no joke)

My most recent EL on SS (last friday) was a shot of a house I took from my kitchen window. I figure the cost of that shoot is slightly less than what Yuri Arcurs spends. Tongue

Of course, I only have one kitchen window, but you can shoot very salable stock just on the way. My favorites are airports and airplanes. They just cost the clicks of the cam, and they are very difficult to copy.
Everything you shoot in studio can and will be copied, if it sells, and they will steal your title and keywords too.

I thought what I was saying is that I immediately thought this was Lund's photo - he did the elephants thing but this isn't his = it's not unique. He has a ton of great elephant shots they could have had (and he could have scored with!)
