I did say I was speaking for myself, based on what I saw you did, it may not bother Kevin at all... But with as much photography as you do I would think you can understand how if you are going to use someone elses photograph for anything... Permission and Credits are a MUST. I only mentioned it because nowhere on the post does it say that it is Summoners image. It doesn't even say it doesn't belong to you, it just talks about what you didn't like about the image and how you changed it. This is why people even posted complememting you for the photo... And summoner had to Speak up to claim it as his.
Just thought this should be pointed out... You have tons of amazing Photos... Keep those coming... No need to work on other peoples shots.

No offense intended man... I really enjoy your work.
