American Angler Cover Call

[Corey Kruitbosch]

Zach or Phil .. Would it be better to submit a contact sheet by email, if we are not looking for feedback on a specific image? Thank you for the opportunity to not only get our work in front of you, but for the offer of a critique!

I always thought this would make a great cover.

Doug,

The super-high contrasty stuff doesn’t do it for me. It looks kinda like when they do “day for night” in the movies. However, I like this shot:

Morsie,

That is a great image! Is it cropped, or is there more on the left? Unfortunately, this wouldn’t work for the winter cover, but I’d consider it for the future.

Corey,

I don’t mind doing it this way. I figure I can better teach the lot of you what works and what doesn’t. If you could all post the way Morsie does, where the whole image is visible, I’d appreciate it.

On the other hand, feel free to send me a contact sheet, as well.

Not a crop Phil.

Here’s another.

Do you have less-processed versions?

Thanks for the feedback Phil. Here’s that image right out of the camera…

Ive got some nice winter Steelheading (centerpinning) images that would likely fit a cover 🙂 Maybe that Steelhead going ballistic (still alot of green in it, so its not really a good candidate.

Fly fishing though, just Browns. 🙁 Browns nicely showing a fly are fewer.

Thanks for the opportunity to submit a few photos – here’s a few from my winter stash. Most of these have been downsized for web so there’s some color mismatch or artifacts, but I have the clean full size for you to look at if need be.

Unfotunately, I’ve got some great horizontals, but cropped as a vertical you can only get about 8.5″ vertical max at 300 ppi. However, if this is in the stretchable range, let me know and I’ll post a couple of the crops.

What we should all be doing in winter.

Not winter but a bloody cold day.
