multibillion production paid from 8 cent to 28 dollar for their billboard...that's a sad story and why microstock is a lose game for everybody apart the owner of ss and hobbist.
last year i sold a asimilar image for a compo for hugho boss, a tiff, for a worldwide campaign, a lot of money...i was lucky they didnt looked through ss or is for similar images at 28 dollar. in alamy i sold last photo for 600 dollar.
good catch and i'm happy the photog is happy, but 28 cents....luckily microstock will be a good remind one day and well go back to serious royalty scheme.
