Title: HotDang! PayDay
Post by: WarrenPrice on February 18, 2010, 10:33

I was 25cents from reaching my Payout Number and surged past it with this EL

$28.00

It was just two months; started December 17.  Still waiting for BS and DT is stuck on $91.  My last payday at DT was in August.  Never had one at BS and been there close to two years.  Yep.  I like ShutterStock!   ;D

Congrats Warren ... and I have to throw in that's a great capture. Most deer photos are pretty plain and boring with no emotional elements. You got a great shot with that one.

Thanks all and I would like to mention that selling an EL on that image at Shutterstock relieved a serious concern.  That image sold as an EL at two other sites.  I was afraid uploading to SS would dilute the value of the image at other sites.  Maybe not.  I guess it really depends on how the image will be used?  Do you agree?

Congrats Warren!

Someone must be doing a book on deer because one of my shots sold for the same amount.  I thought it was a mistake at first but the $$ is still there.  :)

Bit of a "Deer Marketplace" going on it seems. Sorry ;D Seriously, many congratulations Warren on your first SS payout and an excellent image. Now, where's my nearest deer park? Regards, David.

Yes very nice image, you was at the right place at the right time for that one. It deserved at least one EL for sure. Hope you get more
