This was my most unexpected success image for the year.  I have an entire series of WWII military senerios that I set up and shot.  They have all done quite well in the sales department.  But, I chose this one to represent the series because by and large the downloads were in the Large to Extra Large range which brough in some nice $$.  The other images in the series might have made more and were more attractive, but this one seemed to be the big marketing companies choice to use.





This next image was one of my personal favorites just because it brings out the playful spirit in everyone who views it.  Maybe even making us think of our early Peter Pan and Wendy Childhood days.





And here is another one exploring the yesteryear in our lives by living it through this recreation of Alfalfa Blasting Off To The Moon.





Just three of many favorites that I uploaded this year. It was hard to choose.

My three favorite photos:


this one was made using film camera Hasselblad - little girl kissing her grandmother





 


my daughter having fun in the sea


 


 


and this runaway in summer field





 

I've just found out that if you edit the post, you loose the hyperlinks, so watch out guys

Soul Snatcher - The reaper taking a skeleton out of his female vicitm


 


Zombies


 


Military Combat


 

"The North Wind Doth Blow and We Shall Have Snow". One of a series of beautiful Pre-Raphaelite illustrations by Walter Crane which I have just had accepted.





Two street entertainers doing a levitation trick on the South Bank of the River Thames, London, during the summer - it gained me an initial rating but has had no downloads.





A steam engine passing under a smoke-stained bridge in Norfolk, England.

Here are three from my favorites from this year:
