One should post that the bird/eggs in the photo are courticy of so-n-so and not photos of their items for sale.

I've got to do that all the time with my illustrations. I even had to translate an email into italian to ***** out a major dog magazine site, they used my drawing for their logo!......wth is wrong with people!

Yeah, the thing is that the seller didn't use a catalog image, but an image they found online. That's what makes a difference. And I changed my personal settings so my images couldn't be cataloged a long time ago.

Thank you so much for catching that and flagging it. I have not been online much and had no idea. I love BYC!
