But here's the question...would you hang it on your wall? I wouldn't.
That is not a reflection on the quality and skill, but more a question of where would it look right on my walls? We tend to have 'restful' images that don't necessarily grab attention so much as harmonise with their surroundings.
I think this is the problem with selling photos. People are buying to hang on their walls and as such the image has to fit, more than have strong visual impact. That is not to say it can't have impact. But I suspect the impact must come from composition more than subject matter? That's just my feeling...which of course could be way off the mark.
I understiood why your photo of the people on the beach sold. A lovely capture, just like the kingfisher, but a more restful and 'usable' image to my mind.
I haven't had many images that I would class as saleable in this context ...which explains why I have never tried.
