RE: Silhouette of Tree Near Body of Water during Golden Hour

@light.photo & @ale.dri:
I wonder, why anybody upvotes the posts here. This photo is a well known photo from Pixabay. The phrase "Nature is very similar to magic..." is the same on many posts.
The only positive thing is, that he links to the source of the photos, but in my opinion this is pure plagiarism, because by adding photo information he pretends to be the photographer.

Could you share the link from Pixabay please? Thanks.

... maybe it's him anyway, the picture is not recent... I don't know...

[ale.dri]

ok... I look the profile and actually I think you're right!!!!

All I say is, that he is pretending to be the author. He is linking to Pexels, but don't tell anyone that the original photographer is another person.
You just need to look at the other posts. These photos are from different people.
Honestly, usually I do not care, but if someone gets an upvote from a curator, then I have to say something.

[ale.dri]

Yes, I agree! My mistake the upvote... I was in good faith...

[johannpiber.phot]

Never mind. Believe me, I have also made such upvotes in the past, but I do know some photos from Pixabay and Pexels quite well, because a while ago I have been working at a similar webservice.
