Made the front cover of Digital SLR Photography this month with a dew drop refraction, first time ive ever been published:D.

This shot was my first attempts at taking dew drop refractions.

Still cant quite believe it as ive only been seriously into Macro photography since last aughust when i purchased my first lens the Tamron 90mm quickly followed by the MPE-65mm:D.

I just checked their website to see how it looked on the cover and it's very nice! congratulations!

Edit: How did it end up on the cover, did you just send it into them?

Wow! big congrats, :thumbs:
Getting published for the first time is the most satisfying feeling ... but to do it with a front cover ... you must be on cloud nine! :clap:

Thanks very much Surfinrach. The editor Dan Lezano contacted me through my online gallery on EPZ, i think the art editor Luke Marsh had been aware of my work for a while.

Congrats on the front cover too, i've got the magazine here :D
