My Gervase:

Donna,

I'm pissed.

Donna,

I want you to know I wrote them an e-mail...

W.O.W.

That's absolutely ridiculous. Seriously? A "professional" site? HA!

Josh, I hope you as for a couple of free bulbs for my "professional pictures" Lets see, I'd take Fluddermaus,and a Daphne..haha...If I could send them the same picture with my name of it, then I wouldn't really mind..hubby says I should be flattered...that out of all the pitures of Gervase on the web, they choose mine....I dunno...

Well you can be flattered that they chose yours to steal LOL
Seriously, they should have given you credit - at the very least. We'll know more when they respond to Josh's email whether it was a company decision or just the website designer. I'm hoping the company does the right thing.

On another note - great picture!

I guess they got the message..they changed the picture!

Donna,

Did you send them a message or was it only myself? They never wrote me back but I gave them a piece of my mind!!!!

It just makes me so angry when these companies choose to steal others' pictures when they have the money to pay for them via places like Vision! Why would you burn the people that keep your business from crumbling? (not that we buy from them, I think they're cut flowers?)

I'm glad they changed it! Donna, you can't help your pictures are that good, huh?

Josh

No Josh, It was only the letter from you that did it.;-)

Picasa has a great little workshop where you can add text and the copyright symbol and just about anything else you could think of. I have been retrofitting a few of my pictures..but will mostly just use it on new pictures..very simple and easy..I just never thought it was necessary before but, apparently it is..I'm certainly not going to stop posting pictures and I sincerely hope the rest of you won't either.. ;-)Thanks,

Donna

Photo Bucket is easy too, just use the "add text" in the editing section.

I just added my siggy to mine with Flickr!

Keep practicing..and don't forget the date..but see how easy it is!! I'm wondering...when writing the name of the bulb, it it "name" or 'name' around the name..which is correct? I do know that with registered rhododendrons the single' ' is the norm and for non registered plants " " is the norm .Would it be the same for hippies and would it matter, I suppose we could always leave it off. Now you just put your last initial..I'm wondering if I should be doing the same...Here is what I've come up with so far...

Do you think this is too much information?

Donna

How about this???

{{gwi:448957}}

Donna,

I'm only writing something to deter people from using my pictures but I think more information would be nice! I think yours are good for record keeping too, I might put the date on mine.

Maria,

Your 'Cappuccino' is fabulous, mine is so very close to blooming, the buds are popping out!

Well, we ARE all an ingenious bunch aren't we?!? ;-) But, if we bother to put our name on a photo, shouldn't we put the flower's name also? I like to know what I'm looking at. I know,.. it's just a matter of choice, but I'm not always sure what I'm looking at!!

Dear All,

Some time ago, a GW member posted a great demonstration of how easily names and other markings can be removed by those who wish to do so. I do not mean to rehash the past or to rile people up. If I do, I apologize in advance. However, beyond the aforementioned ease of removal, GW's terms and conditions are the reason that I stopped posting on this site and why I never post links to my albums. I sincerely wish that this problem could be resolved. I love to see all of your photos and I want to share mine too.

Best,

Blanca

P.S. All of the photos posted on this thread are beautiful!
