I used google image finder to locate some of my images and there is this guy who has a web portfolio. On his site he is displaying website pages he has created and one uses my images, clearly as a mock up, but watermarked nonetheless. is this allowed?

I'm not sure if Getty/iStock would send their lawyer's hounds on this guy but in the end it doesn't make his work look any more professional.

He is shooting himself in the foot IMO.

No.
Contact CR - they should get a take-down at least.

It's not what iStock wants you to do:

Sure.  Just pin it to Pinterest and use it from there.  Wallah!
