Comment on Motherly by QueenOfGoldfishes

The photography thing is somewhat different than the art thing in that I sell "stock photos" of my images for commercial (not just personal) use. And sometimes they're sold with the proviso that the buyer gets exclusive use. If they see that image used elsewhere, it can be rather...sensitive. Same with fine art editioning that I hope to do some day. One gal here took one of my candidate images, square cropped it and called it hers, with a copyright notice--that would make a collector berserk.

I read the comments, and so many of them completely missed any reference to the original image--they saw the whole scene as being of your imagining. People with your skills have the advantage over us photographers--we either have to set the scene and encourage the action, or through skill and timing just capture what the horses offer us.

My thought is that we could probably work together on some images to both of our benefits.

Please do change the description on your deviation to make it much clearer that it's not completely of your imagining, and stop the print sale for now. Can we talk in e-mail instead of here?
