Tulip Field Layers
I grabbed this shot a few minutes before the thunderstorm in the BG overtook us. I like the simplistic graphic quality this has, but didn't think much of it at first. Then today a client bought the rights to it over many other much stonger images IMO. I'm always surprised what images an average person gravitates toward.

5D
70-200L
1/80, f/20, ISO 160

Argh! These Woodburn pics are killin me...

Seriously, though, this is a nice pick. You said a client bought the rights to this, where are you finding clients like this? Just wonderin'

I have a stock agency as well as an artist rep who represent me. I can't say I make a ton of money this way yet, but it's nice when one of these comes through.

Congrats on the sale. My stock agency would not have accepted this cuz of the company name on the tractor. Did a John Deere rep purchase this? Would make a great advertising image for them!

Vibrant and beautiful, well composed and looking nice. Cool old tractor too!

Nice capture, Zack. I love the dark background and how vibrant the flowers are.

Thanks guys. Mark, funny you should mention that, the client asked to have the logo removed, so the version they have has no logo.

Zack, just another advantage of joining the digital age. Guess I should give it a try someday.

Zack, just a quick question. You mentioned you sold the rights to your image. I was curious as to whether you had to get a property release from the owners of the tractor and tulip fields?
