I guess Evans modified the photo for the cover. I think he should get an "additional art" credit only.

Yes, Robin Grenville Evans.

Comparing the original photo and cover, I think Evans should perhaps get a cover art credit.

[mention]Ralf[/mention] has previously pointed out that the cover matches that of a John Morrisey book. As far as I can see, they are exactly the same image (even down to the patterns of the radiating lines). Tim White was the cover artist for the book cover: http://www.isfdb.org/cgi-bin/pl.cgi?253229
