Yea, I gave them permission and they did post my name. Should have waited though, right after I sent it they advertised wanting sports action shots taken localy and offered payment. I am just glad that after taking so many shots one of them actually looked good!
A cover shot should have been worth several hundred dollars. Too bad you just gave it to them. Your shot makes people pick up the magazine and that makes advertisers want to pay for ads...and by your giving it to them, it makes it harder for the professional photographers to make a living. The money should have gone in anyone's pocket BUT the sports guide's.
