  • I don't mind you using my photos from Flickr (User: bbmexplorer) but can you please include a credit url as requested as part of the creative commons licence.

    Alternatively, if you don't want to include a credit url, you can purchase the images instead.

  • Thanks bbmexplorer! We're using the Flickr API which links to the Flickr image page, which links to your site -- we're trying to get better data from Flickr in cases where the credit URL is different from the API URL.

    I'm including the credit url here: Awesome picture of synapta below by BBM Explorer, from www.redseaexplorer.com.
