Didn't think this was possible anymoreIt must be some sort of mistake? If not, thank you Alamy. This, even if rare, is what separates you from everyone elseWhat is the image that sold for almost 2 grand? Nothing special - Iron Mountain trailhead in Poway, California
Congratulations! That's awesome!Fingers crossed that the customer doesn't request a refund in 5 months. That's always my greatest worry with bigger Alamy sales, especially when you already had payout and spent the money.
one thing, the image is special in being one of only 6 in the whole databank, and clearly the better one.also so much for the Alamy purist that having your image across various Stock telling you that client will go search it also on SS and go and buy it for 10 cents (sic!) there.

Couple of yrs ago Alamy customer inquired about an image they wanted for book cover. They were willing to pay $999, but were interested to know if image was available elsewhere. I replied honestly and did not get a sale.Over the last yr I shifted my overall strategy and am uploading what I consider better shots to Alamy and AS only. That "book cover prospect" image would today be uploaded to Alamy only. But everyone must find what works best for them & it is at least to a degree related to type of work they do
Interesting you mention AS for your best shots. I only got an EL at Adobe when I pursued it myself (because some commercial company bought at low rates and I discovered my photos in their commercial website). And an EL gives you only so much money at Adobe. Why choose them while on SS or IS or Alamy (apparently) you could get so much more?
