Good info but I must be missing something here. The Horse and Rider image on IS is Flavia Bottazzini's, not Lee Torrens'. And it has zero downloads. May be a good idea for a blog about images that sell to use an example image that has some sales. (?)

While I believe that micro will be a big part of stock photography in the future, one should consider that micro will be more and more pressured by price while there will always be a market for much higher priced and more exclusive photography.

If Andrés R is so successful, I guess he wouldn´t want to loose his image and credibility... But he just "sponsored" a photocontest in Colombia, and he hasn´t payed to the person who won the the prize (me), and hasn´t answered or even sent an e-mail. So, what is success about? is it just about earning money? or being honest and living with principles? I hope to hear from Andrés soon, otherwise I will let the media know what´s going on. Thankyou.
