Weather you are a hobbyist or pro, being published is validation. Keep up the excellent work. Congrats!

I received and email earlier this week that a photo I had submitted to Miles Ahead (quarterly newsletter for United Mileage Plus Chase card-members), was accepted and was printed. To my surprise, it was for the cover of the publication and not just for the travel photos section that I had originally submitted for. Yay! The newsletter came a day or two later and they sent me a few extras to have.
The photo was taken last summer on our family trip to Europe. We took a cruise that started and finished in Copenhagen, Denmark. We arrived a few days before the cruise began which gave us time to see the city and photograph the sites with my previous Canon, 5D III. My photo is of the Nyhavn Canal.

Ah yes and all that blank water at the bottom of the image is exactly what they were looking for to use as the cover image. Congratulations! Be sure to add it to your CV (for me that stands for "Critical Validation" e.g. my images are pretty good.
Congratulations!! That's a beautiful shot. I can imagine the excitement of finding out your picture was chosen for the cover! Really happy for you!
Forgive me for butting in here, but I have been noticing a trend. These companies ask for submissions with no "payout" other than showing your images on the "news" for sunsets or weather channels and yours a travel mag. etc. They are taking advantage of "amateur" photographers and of course, we are so excited to have our work published but this is a damn shame. They would have had to pay a pro photography for pretty close to the same image. A friend of mine who is a pro told me he was let go because so many images were being sent in and the channel decided it was smarter {and it is} for them. Just had to get that off my chest and I hope I am not out of line here.
Congratulations! Great photo!

Congratulations! The feeling of having ones efforts acknowledged and the shear exileration of having it published is something to remember for a long time. May your future efforts bring more of the same, kudos!
Congratulations! That is a great photo. (I had the unexpected honor of having one of my photos chosen to be a book cover some years back--didn't even know about it until a friend told me about it. They'd used the photo without contacting me. Fortunately, the circumstances were such that I was not upset by it.)
