...a blue ribbon winner if I ever saw one :o) #19421

Thanks for your comments everyone! Tess you are too funny! BetterPhoto community, this photo of mine was copied off of another photo contest site, no right click protection there, and another person entered it into a county fair. It won a blue ribbon, but I received no credit. Tess recognized the photo when she visited the fair and contacted me about it. Having no positive outcome from this matter, I have limited my photo sharing sites to BetterPhoto.com, BestFoto.com. These are the only two photo sites that I know of that have right click protection for photographers' works. Taking that extra step to protect our copyright means alot to me. Nothing is fail proof I know, but I feel less vulnerable at these sites. #19424

What a shame, Shelley that you didn't get the credit for it! This really is a terrific shot....and yes, it DOES look like he's smiling! Looks like he should be on the cover of some children's book...The Happy Fishie or something! Great job! #19433

It's a great shot, Shelley!! You should say what site it was, so we can all avoid such things! #19451

sorry that someone stole from you, such a shame, the creep! This is fabulous I absolutely love that smile, sure makes it look harmless :o) #19640

After you mentioned the right-click protection, I tried it and it wasn't protected. #19651

Shelley Sanders May 27, 2019 0

That's strange Gregory. When I view my photo full size and right click, a message comes up that you should contact the site about all articles and photos. You don't receive the usual right click choices, such as copy, paste, etc. #19653

Shelley Sanders May 27, 2019 0

Aha, I think you right clicked the small version of the photo. #19654

Thanks so much everyone! This little guy has since been relocated to another aquarium, larger but not as well lit. His iridescent eyes are not all aglow anymore and he almost looks colorless. I was lucky to get the shot when I did, but even with him not being as colorful, I still go and take a peek every time just to see that little goofy guy with his smile and big eyes. #22811
