When mentioned to my room mate that I have one of the rare photos of Jacoby Ford, whilst crossing the finish line in the event where

Ford's 6.58 is a season-best and the national-leading time in the event.

he suggested it might be worth a lot of money.

I have no intentions of selling this photograph, but I just want to know if its worth anything.

Pure curiosity.

Nice sharp shot, but .... i don't think this shot will be worth much cash. Reasons, 1) lacks context - not obvious that is is a special event. 2) Not at finish line, after it. No deep concentration on runner. 3) chopped body - the runners feet, arms etc. need to all be showing.

all that said, nice photo. I am a Clemson alumni, so I enjoyed seeing the shot.

Anything can really be worth money. It solely depends on if people will pay for it, and how much they will pay.

I came here to post something similar.

Well philosophy apart :P, is there some website/agency specifically for this? I know alamy but it serves a different purpose.
