I just showed the S-B home page to my wife and
she thought the pic of Vic and Mike holding their
big cows worthy of publication in some fishing
magazine. She is a former magazine editor and
knows something of worth for a cover. I happen
to agree and believe that pix should appear on
cover of OTW with of course appropriate compen-
sation to Tynan for taking it. What think youse??

I think I'm ready for another sit down dinner!

It is a great shot.

I think we all should split the compensation:humpty:

Or next spring, casey buys the beer.

I agree! both about the dinner and the pic

Canalman should print that on the Fisherman

Magazine cover? Give him $500 for the cover, $1000 for full rights. :hihi:

Then the two of them will start charging us for the opportunity to fish w/ celebrities at Cutty :hihi:

Seriously, Tynan you should shoot a copy
over to OTW or SWS or NE Fisherman. Hell
the fish, the early dawn and the expressions
on the faces are worth a cover.

It is a beautiful picture.
They look so serious that I keep looking for the S-B gangsta hand signal:bl:

I might but wouldn't do it without permission anyways. Thanks for the compliments John.

Definitely a great shot

But as a former professional photographer, I'd tell Tynan to read OTW's clause on subsequent reproduction rights really carefully in regards to submissions

Sounds like you're already aware of the importance of obtaining releases for published images

i agree it is a good photo

Tynan's pic - he can tell me (kindly) to remove it for further use :tooth:

Last I heard an OTW cover was $100. I think a SWS is $800. When I contributed, they had First American Serial Rights to stories, which means they have an exclusive to publish the work first, then after that the rights revert back to the author.
Before you sell your best work make sure you try and get the most you can by trying the best paying venues first.
