Do you think he really sold it, or made that claim to save face?
It's a horrible photograph and I have a hard time believing anyone would pay for it!
All my opinion of course.

$250 for something that I would instantly delete from my camera and be embarrassed to post anywhere? I love this comment:

"what would be the appeal of purchasing this photo?"

I think the "tourist group" that bought his print was his rich uncle.

an advice from a photographer friend of mine when i ask him to teach me some editing technique.... " Never allow yourself to look as bad as the bad photograph you edit."

i'm sorry but i would like to think that the one who bought that for $250 looks like that photograph.
