Mixed Feelings

One of my elephant photos has been used in a national newspaper (which is absolutely fine in itself; I Creative Commons licensed them, and the artist for that particular elephant also asked if she could give the picture to the press).

But it's the Daily Mail...

Nice picture ...

And this is why I don't use the free-for-commercial-use cc license. I think it's true that certain aspects of professional photography are completely doomed, but giving national newspapers free content certainly accelerates the process.

All the same, your photo is up there with one from Associated Press and two from Getty Images - not bad company!

Aargh! I can't work out whether to congratulate you or not!

Nice picture though.

Oh hell. I'm so sorry. And it's got your name on it.

Oh, dear. If they pay you I may have to review speaking to you.... :-)
