Yea, I know it's not a big deal, but I am happy. They came to me a while back and asked my permission to have the pic considered for the new release of the site. I said sure, and they let me know today that they chose to use it. Good stuff...

Congrats, that is a great image.

I got a schmap request not long ago for a church shot I took at a wedding downtown that I put up on flickr. I haven't ok'd it yet, but I might.

I let them use one of my photos from a trip to Perth and it's still up. As a hobbyist, it makes me proud to be asked.

I wish they would be able to pay for photo usage, but at least they ask permission to use the images.

Congratulations on being selected. It's always a boost to get published.

It is amazing to me how can you allow someone to use your work to make money, without you getting anything ...

Sure, it is nice to be published, but it is nicer to be able to pay off some of that equipment.

The thumbnail on the site links directly to Dylan's flickr page, so he will undoubtedly get more exposure. Could lead to big sales someday.

I agree that is definitely a possibility. In the meantime, the bird in hand is still worth 100 of the ones in the tree...

Regardless of all this, it is a nice picture, and you should be proud of your work and not give it away for free. My 2c, anyway.

Yeah, another local photog just posted about her meerkat image being used by them. Glad you are happy about the usage! And the image looks nice...
