Thanks Bruce. Which one would you have chosen, out of curiosity? The one they chose was not my first pick. It was *maybe* 2nd on my list, more likely 3rd or 4th. Same was true when they picked the aurora shots. The art director (Tom BTW) showed me the mockup (terminology?) for the cover. It looked great. I also saw the original web version on his Mac. It looked good too. No doubt it was calibrated correctly.
I'm happy about it... for sure. It's funny the way things happen. I took a chance and inquired once. The aurora shots were really "photographs" in my opinion, meaning I was deliberate and focused, and they were the kind of things I really enjoy shooting. The sledding photos, on the other hand, were merely snapshots, raise the camera to the eye and shoot, with never a forethought or afterthought that one could be published. I have almost always disagreed with the Pop Photo #1 pick.
