I actually saw it for the first time on Saturday, but was in a hurry to get to a wedding so I didn't have time to acquire it (figured I'd offer the girl behind the counter $10 for it).
The entire photo wasn't used. They actually covered up the balloon area with an orb of some sorts, and only the spray is in view. I'll see if I can get ahold of the ad soon and post it here.
But like I said, both Istock and Shutterstock have rejected that photo. |
Do you actually have a clue as what those magazines charge to run an ad? All, I'm saying is that you should have done your research before letting the image go for $500.00.
But hell, guess you're right, $500.00 for nuthin...........that's what you got compared to what an experienced photographer would have commanded.
BTW...it is a sweet shot..........
