I agree on that one, but the canyon shots have an argument for editorial. |

I am really surprised about this one... all you can see is part of an arm. Do I need to crop this out to make this not need a model release? or has a mistake been made? I have never seen SS be this strict before....

As mentioned in earlier messages (in this thread and many others), this seems to be a trend at all the micro sites. The thing is I can't see a reason why. I haven't seen or heard anything about anybody being taken to court and having lost, at least not in a high profile case. I might be wrong, but I thought the court decisions in the past were all based on that a person has to be recognizable by somebody else. Unless that is the case, anybody can jump up and claim 'hey, that's me in that picture'. How can he/she prove it if nobody else can recognize the person in the image?
I would like to see at least one of the sites show some backbone and stand up for their contributors. SS has now over a 100,000 photographers. If it would come to a lawsuit, I'm sure there is quite a number of us here that out of self interest would be willing to contribute to some kind of defense fund. |

The fire picture is editorial? Now I'm wondering. Remember a very short while ago, the reviewer(s) that kept slapping everything with a "limited commercial value"? Do you think he/she/they have sneaked back in and is/are now labeling things "editorial" right and left? I hope not. |

This guy couldn't prove the photo was of him no matter how hard he tried. |
Actually I think you could recover enough detail in Photoshop from the full size image on this one for the guy to not only recognize himself but prove it was him too.
A little levels and shadow and highlight adjustment and he has a face. Go to the source file with no watermark across the face and bingo, instant recognition.
You never know how the designer will manipulate an image for end use. |

That's a great point seeing how well image editing software can recover details now. Call me silly, but I can't figure out whether the guy in that photo's facing toward or away from the camera (I automatically assumed 'away' earlier until your post though). |
