The lower shot is one I entered in Tourism Victoria's photo contest in the spring of '07.
On Boxing Day I was looking at their calendar of events then decided to thumb through the '08 tourism guide. And there I was on page 13 :)
Some of my entries are in their image bank and they'd contacted me to ask for a high-res copy of my harbour seal for print usage but not of this one, so it was a very pleasant surprise to actually see something of mine in print. I think it looks pretty good in there!
Thanks, guys :) I know it's nothing to a lot of you but it's exciting when it's a first :)

Yup, it's that sideways text along the right edge. It says, "Sheila Matheson/Tourism Victoria". I really didn't expect that, since the fine print didn't mention crediting where it said I gave permission for them to use it.
