Xenmate, after looking at this again, could you please add my name... as you have done for others' photos. And a comment from you would be appreciated to accompany the photo.
It occures to me that it might be even better, for you and for the "sharing" photographer, if you would ask before putting up the photos instead of telling them after the fact. I know it's easier and faster to "ask forgiveness after than to get permission before" but still the ethics are a bit cleaner if permission is asked before. I suspect that most people would give permission.

Sure thing!
And thanks for the compliments.

you may be right eglantine. Thing is, of the 500 or so pictures I've posted most are under CC license, so I'm not even required to ask.
Of the rest, I have always informed the photographer, and I've never had anyone tell me that they weren't ok with it.
So I'm assuming that although I may not be keeping with the letter of the law, I'm keeping with the ethical spirit of it, and that satisfies me.
If I do get negative responses in the future, then, of course, I will ask before I post from then on.
