Thanks BWR.

Thanks Rob.

Thanks Sylvie.

Oh damn. That sucks. I doubt he will let me, but I did send him a message on his Flikr account.

Very often photographers will give permission for use of their images in these situations where they are credited and there is no monetary gain for the work. We will keep your entry up as long as possible while awaiting the author's reply.

No we're not slipping. We have many ways to check sources even when links aren't provided by authors. I checked the octopus image myself and found it was from wikipedia, the rust was obviously just a texture many of which are readily available. I didn't bother to mention you not posting them since the pressing issue was the copyright of the light bulb, posting the missing links (which I already knew were acceptable) could have been done right up till contest end in a comment.

Thanks. I hope you know my above comment was in jest. Love you guys/gals.

Thx. Always a challenge to get the right coloring. In my interpretation, that is a sand dune at the beach.
