Cool photo.

Great shot looks like an image right out of National Geographic. I love your avatar! I would like to know how you achieved the light value of your person and the dark camera?

Thank you so much Jim and Suzanne! Suzanne, I took the photo outside with a mirror and then edited it in Lightroom 5. I adjusted the exposure, contrast and saturation... Thanks again!

Very professional, you are going to have to give classes!

Haha! Thank you for saying that :) Means a lot to me being that I am a young, self-taught photographer and have never taken a class :D

Great. And one of my favorites of yours.

Congratulations, Shelby! Enjoy the euphoria that making a sale can bring. :)

WTG Shelby!

I have question: How do u get to knw that u made a first sale, or someone wants to buy ur image...?

Thanks

you don't know when someone is going to buy them unless you push them in directly. if you get a sale you'll see it in your accounting section and usually you'll get a mail, provided it doesn't get stuck in the system or sent to a spam folder.
