Would it work for a nature magazine?

Most of the nature magazines have their own photographers or work with a specific set of photographers. Sometimes an outside photographer might be used by a writer doing an article. But nature magazines are few and far between now days. What can work, however, is to target a magazine that you like and read regularly. Look at the articles and how they are photographed. Then write your own article and photograph it and submit it using the styles you have seen that the magazine buys. This can sometimes give you entree to a magazine. Its more of a long shot, but it does happen. The photographs have to be really good, however, and you need an angle --- a new way at looking at something in nature. You can also team up with someone who has writing skills and plan a shoot and article.
For example, I thought about writing an article on Industrial Nature --- or how Nature has changed for our generation. It might have a photo like this:
So that's sort of what I'm talking about when I say come up with something new and different and even jarring.
