I’ve been asked this question so many times today. I have this image on my desktop. I usually place my image from the day before as my desktop image at work.
Several people have commented on it and asked me where I downloaded it from and who took it. They seem quite surprised to learn that yours truly did it.
I could use some reason like: “I’m an artist and true artists do it for the love of it and not for the commercial aspect, blah, blah, blah”, but in truth, I guess that I have never taken the time to set up a way to sell.
Also, I get a sneaking suspicion that if the selling gets good that I’ll start looking for shots that sell and will loose some of my creative expression.
I made myself a promise start printing them and hanging them in my house. I need to order some double mattes because I’ve cut them before and I’m not good at that and don’t want to take the time and expense to learn! 
I think that this may be my first one that I hang on the wall. I’d like to see it in a 16×20 frame and an 11×14 matte! Expensive, but he I like the shot!

Paul, if you’re looking to sell, let me know. I found a great place to do it at no cost to you what-so-ever. Not a penny, you should go for it, why not? I don’t think you’ll get lost in the “I must shoot this cause it’s a seller.” Also, if you’re looking for matting supplies, I may have found a couple of places. I’ve not bought from them yet, though. I’m about to start an order. Let me know if you find any place, too.
If they’re willing to pay, you should sell.
