Need A Bit Of Help Here............................Becky

Hey Guys!!!

I need a little bit of help here. *giggle*

First of all I hope everyone is doing well! I know I don't get much time to post/comment any more.....The joys of being a momma ;)

I don't even know where to start this without making this sound so stupid.

Some may remember shortly after I had Savannah, I posted a picture of her. It was black and white, in her Daddy's hand....and her bow was colorized. I'd repost it, but I'm too uncomfortable.

Anyway.....I've always been weary of photo contests. But last week I found one to take a chance on. Everyone appeared to have fun, etc. So.......probably against my better judgement, I entered.

It was going great, first place, slipped into second today. And then this evening someone just left a comment that they had 'seen this on the internet'.......which of course attracted the nasty comments.

So, now it comes down to.........The person who 'saw' it........did they see it somewhere I had posted it?..........(here, one other MSG board, briefly, and then my personal site). Or....did they see it because someone has stolen it.

When it was posted here, and the other MSG board, I had it clearly watermarked.

I do not think this individual said it...just to say it, as they do not have pictures in the same competition. If it helps they are posting pictures from somewhere in Michigan. so they either live or visited there.

There is no way to contact this individual to ask. Short of taking it to THEIR photos and commenting there. Which I will not do. I have commented on MY OWN inquiring about it though. Lord knows if they'll see it however.

Sad to say, I may not be posting pictures anymore.

*Shrugs*

This is probably a fruitless effort. But I had to try none the less....

Thanks

Becky

Date: 3/1/2008 8:39:00 PM  ( From Author ) From Authorid: 16845    Aw, thanks. I'm so unbelievably frustrated and upset about this. I just wish they had elaborated. If they saw it because *I* Posted it, hey that's cool....whatever..stolen is a whole 'nother ballgame. The nasty comment is totally eating at me to. It shouldn't I KNOW it's my daughter, and I KNOW I took the picture........yet....it's totally eating at me.  
Date: 3/1/2008 10:19:00 PM  From Authorid: 10657    Have you tried doing a search online with the characteristics of the picture?? There are lots of pictures that will show up on yahoo and google if, you type it in like Cute baby or etc. Anything, here is copyrighted I believe but, I can't say about the other site that you use. Can you not contact the moderator of the photo contest and let them know that the picture is an orginal?? Also, is it a professionally done photo or one that you took? If, it was done by a professional they may have put it online and it is copyrighted by them.

I am sure that you have many photos that you could post of your own child and as the representation would be much the same you can prove that it is your child. It would be almost impossible nowadays to have a picture of anyone that wouldn't look like some other picture on the net so I would take this with good grace and mark one up to a bad loser  
Date: 3/2/2008 7:18:00 AM  ( From Author ) From Authorid: 16845    Angie, I take all my own photographs. No one is saying anything on the other site. *Shrugs* Ad, I do have many photographs that haven't been seen by....well anyone but myself that came from the same session I did with her...It just really irks me. That one comment has caused lots of negative feedback, and it is hitting me hard. I guess it'll just come down to if the one person tells me where they saw it at. Hopefully they'll let me know soon so I can pull out of the competition. It's no longer worth it for me.....not this one anyway.  
Date: 3/2/2008 7:19:00 AM  ( From Author ) From Authorid: 16845    Oh, and we have been google searching. No such luck yet.  
Date: 3/2/2008 3:22:00 PM  From Authorid: 61847    You poor thing. I'm sorry this happened to you. I wish you the best of luck. Some people are just nasty!! *hugs*
