Wallpaper: La fille aux insectes

[abracanabra]

La fille aux insectes, originally uploaded by I am Monkeyman.

New wallpaper for the work computer. I like the layered textures of the background, the luminous quality of the model, and the surreal nature of the photograph. It has an interesting faux-tropical jungle feel to it. The only way I would improve this photo is by a) making the ladybug proportional to the butterflies, and b) changing the color tone of the model's shirt--it isn't quite the right shade to work for me, despite being obviously used as the basis for the background.

Don't you think you could ask authorisation or at least leave a comment to inform people that you use their photo on your website???

Not my website, my blog. It's a fine difference, but it's there!

Since the Flickr settings for this photograph explicitly allow it to be blogged by others, I took that as permission. If "I am Monkeyman" (Are you "I am Monkeyman"? Wow, that's a weird-looking question. :P) would like me to not make it viewable to the public, I'll absolutely honor that request.

About the comments--I did assume that blogging or marking it as a fave would automatically send some sort of message to the poster, and I perhaps should have also posted a comment. I'd feel a bit weird saying, "Hey, I blogged your photograph," though--I do this a lot (http://cloudscudding.livejournal.com/tag/wallpaper), and it's not like it's getting very wide circulation or anything like that. I would feel like I was trying to puff up my own importance, in a way.

* sigh *

I do take your point, though. I'll make sure to post a little comment in the future. You're right; I'm wrong.

It's still a pretty picture.
