I took around 50 pictures for my front cover and scrapped almost 30.

Some of the ones which I didn't scrap and thought about using were:

I liked the fire in the darkness in this one, and the slight blur which makes it look like I have horns.

But I was too obscured for the image to be much use.

                                                   
This image I liked, however it's too dark and if you can see it there's an acoustic guitar in my hand. Not the right one for a metal magazine unfortunately.
