My best selling images on micro are my oldest - 2.5 year old so far. And it's nature, not business people :) And they stay my best selling images, especially on Shutter. Sometimes one of them is getting to weekly Top 50.

Thank you chumley, but let me be surprized:
have tou in the past years done 1500$ per image , total of about 1.800.000 $ in five years time?
Where I was sleeping? looking in my Outlook emails I have found a letter from Alamy of about ten years ago, so I remember I was lookin for at this time, but not following that path. Maybe I have loose my train, now? In november will be one year I am part time working for MS, but at now only a dozen of images are decent selling rate, over an average two hundred. I know I will work better focused on, but I have not too much time to invest. A prevision of the Return of investment time shall be an incentive to work more focused
