If you mean the Welsh daily, tell them you'd like to be paid their standard freelance rate, diolch. Don't expect a fortune. I don't know their rates, and size/prominence of the pic will determine this, but around £20 - £40 will be about what I'd expect them to offer. Establish this at the outset. They'll probably want the file at minimum 1-2MB depending on repro size. Don't do any editing without asking - they'll probably want to do this - and absolutely do not add a watermark or signature; they won't use it if you do. Make sure your contact and copyright info are embedded in the metadata. Ask them where you need to send the invoice (payment will not be automatic), and if they will pay by cheque or BACS. Payment can take weeks.

And there's nothing wrong with asking if they can use more freelance work.

Good luck!

What's it for? It's just for their daily "postcards from wales" thing they won't pay anything as there's already plenty of people willing to give images for free for that on flickr.
