Best Selling images

Its that time of year when tax returns have to filled, So i spent this morning at the accountants going through last years figures etc, Last night i got out last years statements and invoices and had a quick run through to see if anything stuck out sales wise, I noticed that there were 3 or 4 images that out sold the rest my a large majority, So i dragged them out to see why-here they are

The red squirrel has been my biggest single sale so far and this one and some from the same series have sold multiple times globally as have the fox and sea otter images, Each has a human quality to it and it seems that what people like so here are a couple taken recently that i expect to out sell standard opossum images

You can relate to each image and they both put a smile on your face, I make no apology for the copyright across each image for obvious reason, Award winning images they may not be but they help pay the bills

Dave, yes there seems to be a common "cute" theme amongst these. Agree with Ashley on the squirrel image - very inquisitive!
The opossum ones seem to fit the bill - good luck with them.

Bio's

David Courtenay, a self taught wildlife and nature photographer, has been capturing images for over 30 years. He has had a passion for wildlife since early childhood and remembers being glued to the television whenever Survival, Wildlife on One and other natural history documentaries were shown. In the 2006 he swapped his established career for the life of a wildlife photographer, such a move demands a measure of uncompromising passion and commitment.

David has travelled extensively throughout Europe as well as spending more than 7 months in India working with local guides and trackers in search of Bengal Tiger, Asian One horned Rhino and Asian Elephant. He has also photographed Wildlife in Australia, Malaysia, Thailand, Sumatra, Africa, Canada and America. Working closely with Conservation companies he tries to raise funds to help Wildlife that has been put on the endangered list by poaching and habitation loss

Martin Dyer has had a passion for avian wildlife since childhood, particularly raptors. Photography was also another keen interest and it was with the specific availability and control of the whole process that digital offers that Martin was then able to combine the two in 2003. Based in the UK, Martin is a regular visitor to Scotland, specifically the Isle of Mull to watch the Eagles resident there. Other trips to Europe and around the UK are usually part of Martin’s agenda in a typical year.

However, as a firm believer on making the most of the local patch, Martin has spent a lot of time and hard work creating a wildlife garden which is reaping the rewards with many new species and varieties of wildlife. A keen member of a number of wildlife photographic groups, Martin is keen to expand his portfolio into other areas of wildlife, and has already established a wide portfolio of images of fungi.
