Sometimes what wins the challenges here isn't necessarily what goes over well in the world outside DPC.
If you sell or show your photos, what image has gotten you the best general response in real life?
Could you have predicted it, or are you a little surprised? Was it a photo you made for DPC? |

This is my best selling image to date in terms of quantity. Sold over 100 times as stock to date.

The drummer in this photo says whenever he is asked for a photo, he uses this. I ran across it just recently in an article about him speaking in front of congress for more cancer research funds. It is also the reason I'm getting all-access to a Chicago show for the fourth time this Tuesday. :D |

This
This has been promoted on Accuweather website, facebook page and as moderators pick, the local TV news station picked it up from my google account and promoted it as photo of the day on the live news for the day and showed it in the am and night time. It has been promoted on viewbug and came in a contest in the top 20..
I have been overwhelmed and thrilled about it.
Just in the beginning of this week, Viewbug wanted a behind the lens interview blog thinggy about this image, I was pretty floored about it..
View Bug
I have sold this on canvas as well to friends and Strangers as printed out my first canvas for my home.
If it wasn't for the help here on DPC, I would not have been able to create this.

This is the image I have been paid the most for, though I have sold my original tooth fairy image along with some other variations as well. I have never marketed them proper or had them posted for sale. People track me down to use them. |

i made somewhere over a thousand off of this one:
It was picked up by the AP, carried in a couple hundred newspapers worldwide, and sold to a couple of magazines. Sometimes, it just pays to be at the right place at the right time. Only one I've ever sold. |

Thanks to the positive response <<< this >>> image got on DPC, I sold it on Getty. A university magazine used it on the cover of their environmental magazine. Seemed like back in the day before micro-stock and I got a nice payout.

Haven't sold any prints and don't have a record of the few greeting cards I have sold but this photo is probably my most popular and did win several awards for me.

As a rule, I don't promote my photos to sell. Photography is a HOBBY. But, if ever someone requests to buy one, I'll sell them a print for a price too embarrassingly low to mention. These two were sold to a Facebook friend who saw them on my wall and wanted to buy prints. Gloriously satisfying! :-)

76831 views on 1x.com - I suppose this would count as my best received image. |

The only photo I have ever been paid for:
I just licensed this for a book cover for some Christian book -- $100 plus a copy of the book when it gets printed. |

A print of this image was hung as part of a juried selection, and someone bought it:

A friend saw this hanging in my house and asked me to make her one, too. Does that count??

i don't really market my pictures much but this one has sold the most through eurographics
and this one won the juror's choice award a couple of years ago from the university's contemporary photography show so i got a prize for that

This one.....in both iterations.....
 
Damnedest thing. It was an accidental shot, spur-of-the-moment, with a 6.1 MP Nikon D70s, that came out so cleanly that I actually have an image file to print this at 11 Feet by 6 Feet.
I have never printed a whole copy of the 11x6 version......only the first of a three panel setup, but that has been done three times @ $500 a pop. I've sold a number of 5 1/2 x 3ft versions in both B&W & color, and this is a 7'3" x 4' version hanging in my gallery at the moment.

This is my best selling image so far on my stock sites. It has made over $1000 in the couple years that I have had it up. I was really surprised, this whole series of about 10 similar photos did well for me. I was swearing and sweating bullets when I was painting them. I got done and almost cried because it looked like a little kid had painted them. I put so much work into them I thought I would just go ahead and photograph them anyway. It was a good thing I did :)
This one is a close second:
