Guys,

A person posted in another forum a list of images he wants to buy urgently. These are very specific images for which he is paying up to US$400:

* a polar bear chasing/eating a penguin in the wild
* either ships or sailors of the Bhutan navy
* a tiger in the wild in Africa
* a boat or ship on the Sea of Tranquility
* aerial view of the coastline of Bolivia
* a view of Russia as seen from Alaska (ref: Sarah Palin)
* historical image of workers digging the Mariana Trench
* the Great Wall of China as seen from the moon
* soldiers of the Costa Rican army

More information here.

Not too far, but I don't have any aerial images - it was too clouded when I flew over it.

que joia uma brincadeira, adeladinha

Usually I would jump at the opportunity to make $400US, but not today;
I just signed a 500Euro contract to reproduce the cover of The Beatles White Album .

I bet a view of Russia from Alaska is great.

I searched my photo database and found a picture of a Buthanese sailor riding a russian tiger, chasing a polar bear in a penguin costume with a Costa-Rican army knife, on the Great Wall of China.
Do you think I could make some money with it ?
All the Big 6 rejected this picture. Don't know why ?

Geez, I almost forgot it it was April 1st til I read this thread!

Now, my head hurts

ErikN, they probably thought that they already had too many of this image.

Actually, Bolivia has a navy but their only coastline these days is on Lake Titicaca. They lost their seaport in a war with Chile in 1879.
