Eventually it will be, but you may have missed the part where I mentioned
that I was sending the gallery to the list "raw"... i.e., exactly as it
was sent to the 5 different news outlets here: straight out of the camera
and unedited. I just dumped it to a gallery and let the editors figure out
which ones they wanted. That seems to work best since people NEVER seem to
choose the photos that *I* like. The dups were there, by the way, in case
folks wanted similar shots but not the same as the competition. Anyhow...
thanks for looking, Shel. Glad you still enjoyed.

Wow, I guess there IS something to that editing stuff, huh? The chief
editor at the local paper chose the EXACT same photo (1643) and my wallet
is happy to announce that it was used as the cover shot for section B of
the paper today (the local section). I would've never chosen that shot...
but then I guess thats why I'm not the editor.
This paper has "a half-million daily adult readers" (it serves 7
neighboring cities, plus part of North Carolina), so of the three
newspapers I've been in, this'll probably be the most seen shot I've
submitted so far. A few people that I know have already noticed the photo
credit without my mention, so that was cool.
All the best,
