My K-5 and DA 50-200 made a Magazine Cover! (1 img)

I've got about 30 images as part of the Getty/Flickr Partnership. To my delight, one of my photos was ended up on the cover for American Eagles Latitudes in-flight magazine.

I picked up about 7 of the magazines at the airport and am proudly displaying a copy on my coffee table at home! All guests at our condo are forced to admire it for a few minutes before they're allowed to relax.
Here's the original:
And, here's the link on Getty:

The editor paid Getty $375 for the image. My cut was a paltry $75. But, 20% of something is a heckuva lot better than 100% of nuthin'. And, I never thought I'd make a dime off my photography.
To be perfectly honest, I wasn't entirely happy with the photo. i don't think the train is as sharp as it could be. I handheld at 1/100 sec and a focal length of 95 mm. Very iffy. Plus, I never found the Pentax DA 50-200mm f/4-5.6 to be very sharp. Finally, I always thought the train was a bit too low in the frame.
