I getting myself into big trouble now. And need some advice from you all.
I reported to a few site regarding misuse of my images.
My image: http://www.istockphoto.com/stock-photo-12574231-water-splash.php

..... and some other version.
At DT and IS, the water dragon are not available any more.
Others site no respond yet. But at CanStockPhoto, Duncan told me that he spoke to the photographer(with big portfolio) and the photographer make a honest mistake. He bought a Photoshop brush set from :http://www.daz3d.com/i/shop/popup/slideshow?item=11030&count=4&h=hhh
Duncan is kind enough to ask me whether i use the filter to make my image,and i have opportunity to explain, what i am afraid is SS and other sites might freeze my account straight away?
The brush set is not created by me, and no i never use that brush to create my images.
This is how i make my images:
- shoot a few hundreds water splash.
- choose 10-20 which i think is potential, and convert to tiff.
- spend hours and hours to edit in Photoshop.
Any advice for me?
Thanks in advance.
