    Hey y’all,

    Fly Rod & Reel is looking for a cover to go with a stalking-trout feature. Joe Healy, the editor, needs to see something TODAY.

    So, keeping in mind all the discussions we’ve had on this forum about what makes a good cover, please submit anything that you think might work: anglers stalking, crouching, kneeling, etc. while casting, drifting, retrieving. Preferably, anglers would be dressed in drab clothing, as well.

    Whatcha got?

    Thanks,

    Phil

    I have a couple images on my home machine that come to mind. I will double check them and post when I go home for lunch, noon-ish cst.

    Here are a couple Phil. Lots of room for copy and you can flop ’em if needed. Thanks for looking!

    Dusty,

    That first shot has good composition, but the shadow over the angler makes it a poor cover choice. The second one has too much going on, which confuses the eye.

    Douglas,

    In both your shots, the compelling rises would be covered by the magazine’s logo. Plus, the first is too dark.

    Thanks,

    Phil

    It looks much better on my machine at home; the shadow is not nearly as dark, and there is much more detail. Resizing screwed me! ;D

    Hi Phil,

    Should we post stuff here ?

    I’ve emailed you a proof of stuff from a recent trip.

    A picture is thousand words that takes less than a second while a thousand words is a picture that takes a month.
