I'm thrilled to announce that thanks to Nature Photographers I just got my first book cover. A few weeks ago I was contacted by a small publishing house in Ottawa, Canada who wanted to use my image titled "White Tree Reflection" for the cover of a French language poetry book. The image was posted here on NPN sometime last year. The graphic artist for the publishing house came upon the photo via the PhotoPortfolios.net site associated with NPN. The whole experience was wonderful and everyone involved was a pleasure to deal with. The parcel with my payment and copies of the book arrived yesterday and it's such a thrill to hold a published book that has my image on the cover.

Thanks NPN for the experience!!

Here's a link to webspace where I have the graphic artist's pdf file of the cover
