Marketplace customer Princess Cruises selected an image of Diamond Head, Oahu from Digital Railroad member Walter Bibikow for use as a background in a full page consumer ad currently featured in Sunset Magazine.

Serves as a good reminder that top $$$ sales for images used in print advertising (this sale netted mid-four figures for the photographer), once it gets incorporated into a layout, may only feature a portion of the image. Food for thought when on location shooting stock to composing frames that can serve as both "hero image" as well as a background.

Congratulations Walter!
