Actually we did that at 3-D Arena awhile back - posted a nude image for a postworking challenge. Frankly using an image on your desktop and not sharign it seems just fine to me - but I have todsay that I am more flattered when I am contacted by members who have said "I grabbed your image such&such to use on my desktop..." To know they enjoyed it enough to want to look at it over and over again and that they took the time to tell me so - makes me all happy and pink ;-) Of course I always write them back. as for "the image(s) he used were from the gallery - as in images that do not have a monetary value placed upon them??" That's not really true. I have sold images that were in the gallery here - larger versions of course and I've received commission work as a result of my work displayed here - so they do indeed have a monetary value :-D
