One of my photos now features in the Encyclopedia Britannica! They nicked it from Wikipedia where I had it under a Creative Commons Attribution License. I am rather chuffed. :)

Great news.

I often wonder about "landscape" photographs and what exactly constitutes a desirable picture and in this case it's a nice shot that clearly shows something about the place that they like. Good work.

You must be chuffed. I know I would be.

It's always nice when your photos get used by someone else. It's even better when you're paid for it! :)

Nice work, well done!
