60% commission on that would be nice.  I have seen them sell for this price or more a few times but I think most of the images have to be special to get that much.  They probably wont pay that for one of my snapshots :(

I'm guessing there was a little behind-the-scenes finagleing going on to get a price like that.

Not necessarily __ it just happened to be the image that most closely fitted the buyer's needs. The price is determined by how the image is to be used, not for it's artistic merit.

A very ordinary image of a straight road through scrubland sold for a similar amount when it was used as the backdrop for a movie poster. You couldn't actually see much of the original image because the movie stars were superimposed over most of it.
