Well, not really published... I sent this photo in to the local daily paper last week...


Peacock by dsutton1974, on Flickr

it was printed in today's edition...

They've cropped the feathers off his head and called it a 'snap' but I will get over it :lol:
I know it's only a small thing, but I feel quite proud to have had it printed :thumbs:


me = :D
 
Well done, you should feel proud.

The only thing with getting your shots in newspapers is that the quality of the paper takes something away from the original image. Great shot of the peacock though, great clarity and good colours.
 
nice one :clap:
 
Pity they had to ruin the composition by cropping off the top but it isn't the worst thing that publication has done which I see as a mini Daily Mail for the outraged on Bournemouth :)
 
It's so satisfying having your work up for everyone to see! Just a shame the paper doesn't do it justice! Well done!

hope there is a fee involved

LOL no fee - I sent it in as a reader submission. I've sent a few over the years (of squirrels and various Dorset wildlife) but this is the first one they've printed.

Just seeing it in print is payment enough (this time).

That crossed my mind too...

But there's also the text next to the link that says "subject to copyright - contributed pictures not" [included]

So, together with this nugget of info

I reckon the paper's probably not profiteering from amnesia's photo.
 
A fantastic shot! Well done on getting it published! Make sure they pay you royalties!!!!

Not when it's a reader submitted shot; the terms are different.

It's a good photograph and he deserves congratulating. Don't mar the thread with BS about payment.

Exactly! But have you noticed that in this kind of thread someone always does it?

Thank you !

I was not expecting to profit from this shot... and the paper can't / won't either.
I wasn't commissioned or asked to submit any images, I just sent in a shot that I was quite proud of and I'm just happy to see it in print. :)

Daniel.
