Post by: silverek on April 18, 2013, 20:56: Thank you so much, but it has to be the exact one. That one is pretty close. I really appreciate your help.

Post by: silverek on April 18, 2013, 20:58: It can be a different color. I can change the color in Photoshop.

Post by: Amanda_K on April 18, 2013, 23:13: Hmm I found it on this blog, small but with a message that all the photos belong to the blog owner: http://alicesg.blogspot.ca/2012/01/singapore-botanic-garden-jacob-ballas.html (http://alicesg.blogspot.ca/2012/01/singapore-botanic-garden-jacob-ballas.html)

You may want to contact her and see if she took it originally and is willing to license it? Unfortunatley chances are it's just been taken off Google images. Both a Tineye search and a Google reverse image search show it kind of all over but always 300px square or smaller.

although it would be funny/ironic if that particular one wasn't hers

Post by: silverek on April 18, 2013, 23:44: Thank you 9lives & luisantos, very helpful. Gillian, i'm pretty sure the image is not hers!!!
Title: Re: can't find specific image- GREATLY NEED
Post by: gillian vann on April 19, 2013, 01:14: ^ agree. it's too different from her "work"
Title: Re: can't find specific image- GREATLY NEED
Post by: Mantis on April 19, 2013, 06:43: Why don't you Tineye it or use the Google drag and drop tool? That can lead you to a site where the image is housed.
Title: Re: can't find specific image- GREATLY NEED
Post by: Microbius on April 19, 2013, 07:33: Pretty sure that isn't a stock image, so you need to use something else or get something similar shot I'm afraid

Post by: ShadySue on April 19, 2013, 07:50: Lots of choices here:

(Check 'XXL' for size)
You can easily change the colour in Photoshop or another imaging editor.
No doubt plenty of choices elsewhere too.

Post by: gillian vann on April 19, 2013, 07:56: my curiosity is getting the better of me.

why on earth do you GREATLY NEED this image?
Title: Re: can't find specific image- GREATLY NEED
Post by: silverek on April 19, 2013, 12:27: I need it for a client. I'm a graphic designer.
Title: Re: can't find specific image- GREATLY NEED
Post by: gillian vann on April 19, 2013, 22:06: ah, am I to assume they've "borrowed" it from somewhere and now need a printable version.

Lesson #1: Don't comment on something when you have no idea what the situation is. Also, one who posts only to be negative is one who is not happy with himself. This is a site to help others, not underhandedly cut them down. Hope that gives you a little insight and helps you to change. ;)

And your explanation is...?

;)

Oxman's original point is quite valid, despite your overdone reply. I have seen many situations over the years where a designer uses an image to create a layout, and the client falls in love with that very shot. Back in the days when I sold stock directly, this lead to some very hefty paydays. It's up to you to educate the client on the availability of images you present.
