first MTB coverOctober MBR, shot up in the lake district, somewhere near grizdale forest. Nothing too special and it has been tweaked a bit by the designers but overall I'm pleased.

done,
they've added a bit more space to the left hand side and obviously taken the sun out but I think that's pretty much it. It looks a little flat in the cover there but it looks ok in real life.

wahey, congrats. That's good stuff! Hope they paid you well for that - considering they edited it for you! 
Do post any more covers and stuff!

Congrats Roo.
I love the way they do stupid stuff like take out the sun and make the lighting look odd given the natural rim lighting and the shadows. I suppose they had to make it darker so the white logo would stand out.
But the original is better. The overly darkened and saturated sky on the cover just looks wrong.

Nice job Roo, congrats!
I think they're always gonna mess around with a photo for a magazine because the shots have usually got to fit around type and logos and stuff, especially when it's a cover - if they'd left the sun in there it would've blended in with the title too much, eh? Still, it must be annoying when you've put the time and effort in for them to go and dick around with it.

I do believe that is a rhetorical question? I loved the photo issue, hope they do another one, but one or two of the shots were questionable...

I don't really know (or care), what would be best is to combine the two; a dirt cover. I have a perfect shot for one, I just think dirt now try to only put something on the cover that relates to the content

Still worth a pop though. There was a recent one with no relevance to content (was one with 'The Don' carving that rock). Unless its a very recent policy change...
