Congratulations, amazing image.   

Nice! Congrats.

Congrats, Sharply_done!  Great image (I love the sky)!

Did I do the math right, do your DL's from this one image comprise almost a tenth of your DL's on IS?

I'm wondering if that's somewhat typical, or if there is any such thing as typical.

Yep, although that's changing rapidly. I have a couple of images that are beginning to sell faster.

I think runaway success stories like this are not that uncommon - freezingpics and his famous penguin image comes immediately to mind.

Congrats to you!

Is this a combination of two pics, just out of curiosity? or were you lucky enough to get this fabulous shot in one shot.

Its a great shot no matter what.

Congrats sharply.  Its plane to see why that one is a winner

Most of my images are compilations. This is the only way to efficiently produce a quantity of quality imagery. Why most people stop at 'isolated on white' images is beyond me - why not use your own isolations?

Why does the fact that the shot is 'manufactured' devalue it in your mind?

Do you have special access or do you live in a fabulous penthouse suite looking over the ocean and shoot from the balcony?   

Nope, I live in a van down by the river. The damned things are always flying right over me. (grin)
