Aloha kakahiaka, good morning Garrett! I am delighted to see the true owner of this beautiful image. It is a brilliant sihouette image with wonderful natural light and soft subtle colours. Congratulations on your winning entries in the CSLR, CTF and STF challenges! A friend notified me of the copyright infringement by a member of Webshots, omaatje9. I posted a note there this morning but your forum here will not permit me to copy/paste a URL link for the message and I do not wish to subscribe to pbase to provide it. Perhaps you could simply visit my message forum on my Webshots profile ~ ourjrny ~ to see the original notification and follow the link to the image to see the notification. I wish you a bright and beautiful day! Sharon Anne Coultrap

Thanks for following up. Yes, I've e-mailed webshots twice about it, both last month and this month. I've received no reply, and the stolen photos are still there. Webshots management does not seem to care about copyright infringement.

The person I previously mentioned that stole this photo (omaatje9) still has it posted in her Webshots album and even though I and someone else notifed Webshots personnel, it's still there! I know you said you reported a copyright violation too. Disgusting!
