It would be nice if you had a link back to the flickr page where you found this photo. It’s actually a requirement as stated on flickr.com: “Remember! Flickr Community Guidelines specify that if you post a Flickr photo on an external website, the photo must link back to its photo page.”
Hi Hannes. Thank you very much for the comment. I did not know this and have now made the correction. All future posts that include an image from Flickr will include a link and proper credit. Thanks again for pointing this out.
Glad to hear that
As a Flickr photographer I wouldn’t want people using my photos without proper credit and link.
But, maybe it’s just me but I still can’t find a link to the flickr page for this particular photo (only to the .jpg).
