What happened? I thought the highest SS paid out for an image was around 118 bucks or so on the highest tier but just woke up this morning and saw that I have a single enhanced image that sold for 215.46.
Trust me not complaining but what happened?

jolly good show!
no matter what happened, hope this is the shape of things to come
ie somehow ss is bringing back the 28 to 102, even higher single earnings.

or just a fluke shot, profiting you. congrats

I've no idea what they sold for that (in the way of rights) but you get a percentage (based on lifetime earnings) of all deals classified as SOD

So if you're at 30%, the customer paid $718.20 for some set of rights. It would really be good if we knew what rights, but they've been asked and refuse to say.

Congrats :)

microstockphoto while that would of been interesting to see that, it wasn't. of all things to be known for it's me grabbing my nips in a santa hat. the shame.

the image in question is this one http://www.shutterstock.com/pic.mhtml?id=119084671 which in my opinion to be honest isn't worth the amount paid on it, but guess it also goes to show it might be worthwhile to put up your images even if they might not be ones you consider that good as you never know what the buyer wants.


jo ann on the link you provided it does put a limit on enhanced at 120 max. I know though don't question SS direct as the money can always go away.

I have no idea where to find it, but I'm pretty sure I recall them saying that the "up to" was based on the products they had at the time but anything negotiated as a deal would get that earnings-based rate. In other words, it's not actually a cap.

Nice image, congrats on the sale, and thanks for sharing, which file was sold. It's always interesting to see, what kind of files sell for large amount of $.

Great image.   I wonder where you'll end up seeing it used, what kind of ad or book or whatever.    I have to go find all my bird pix now....
