p.1 #1Success - published!
A couple of months ago I posted a B/W photo of a tropical cloudscape (can't find the thread now). I usually don't do a lot of B/W work so was a bit surprised with all the very positive feedback I got here.
I thought to myself that if it was good enough for people in this forum, then I ought to be able to use this photo for something else, too! Anyway, thinking I had nothing to lose I wrote my favourite US flyfishing magazine (I have done a couple of photo articles on flyfishing in the past although not for them) and said that I had the perfect shot for their double-spread photo page called "Perspective"... Guess whose photo was in the next issue of "Fly Fishing in Salt Waters"!?
They did their own conversion from RAW which is a bit less dramatic than my own conversion but I still think it looks cool. To my knowledge it's the first time they have run a B/W photo on the perspective pages! I'm pretty thrilled as this is my biggest photo published so far! My name was even recognised by a few readers/friends from around the world. (FFISW is one of the major US flyfishing magazines, btw, found in most bookstores, etc.). Perhaps even better, I now have a contact for future photo stories.
What can I say than go for it! Thanks for the feedback that encouraged me to submit!

Jan congratulations! An excellent photo by all means!
Did you sell it to them or did you make this as an offer?
I understand that the joy of seeing such a picture in full spread cannot be compared with some Euros, but I am just curious! Well done and go for the next one!

Hey Jan,
Congrats! That is super. How cool to be able to get a future contact too. Be sure to share anything further that you get published too. It is great to see when that happens!

Thanks guys, really appreciate it!!!
Yannis; I'm getting paid for it (Not sure they want their rates published but it was a decent contribution to my 70-200 f/4 upgrade to the IS version )
Thanks again, I have learned (and still am learning!) a lot here in the FM forums!
