Total surprise! I can't even remember what photos I've submitted to them, but I honestly am surprised that they'd choose this one for their fall issue; the leaves aren't even turning! I'm sure I submitted better fall photos than this!
Yes....congratulations Sue!

Congratulations!! I am happy for you but I have a question which I hope does not detract from your success:
Why do publishers pay so LITTLE for a photograph?? It does not seem to matter how good the photo is, they just do not value it above $25 or $35. Should we photographers hold out/ ask for more payment?? Scarcity will increase value.

Thank you, retlaw! I agree and also wonder why...but at the same time, I'm just sooo happy to have a picture of mine published! :)

Thank you Sailorsmom; you have given me my answer. The answer is that apparently most photographers are soo happy to be published, they would give it away for nothing or close to it. I think that your work has more value.

Congrats!!
Its always a great feeling that others
respect your hard work.
Enjoy, but remember what it took to get you there,
you have to start all over again and do it again.
