Unauthorized use of DPC photo(s)

Sigma 10-20mm f/3.5 EX-DC HSM

Well, I guess I have arrived... I happened across one of my challenge entries posted on Webshots here posted by user Marjorie397.

She clearly credits me and DPC, so she is certainly not on the level as one of the other Webshots users from some time ago, but I certainly wish she would have asked.

In any event, I thought I would (1) toot my own horn for someone finally taking one of my images; and (2) let everyone know in case you want to check her albums for other DPC images (I didn't notice any, but you never know).

I think thats fine, If I'm writing a report and need to reference something it wouldn't be an issue, just quote the source and move on. Is this any different?

not to say I dont agree with your first point :)

Nope, and I am not going to contact her about it anyway. I'm ok with the credit given. I know some people here care though and I just thought I would bring it to everyone's attention.

And by the way,

Hye5, that is an incredible photo. I just saw it earlier today and was stunned. Would love to see the UNcroppped photo!

Thanks! There's a link in the photographer's notes section to the less-heavily cropped (but edited) original, but to make it easier, here ya go:

I see on the original "here" link that you can order a poster sized print of the photo on the webshots page.
