RE: Seven Day Black & White Challenge - Day 4

Welcome to Steem!

Thanks for sharing good photos. I think you may have the wrong idea about some of these challenges you're entering. The idea is to share one of your own photos that fits the criteria.

Sharing other people's photos is good as long as you give credit or otherwise make some indication that the content isn't your own. Posting under these challenges would imply that they are yours.

I am extremely sorry. I was under the impression that most people that shared photos on here were sharing photos that they enjoyed seeing and wanted to share with others. I've made an edit to my post indicating that I am not the owner of of the shot.

Great apology for this. Do you think it is okay with the tag now?

I'd double check with the challenge's post for guidelines.

By the way I came across you from one of your many thoughtful comments. Thank you for making Steem a better place!

I just looked and it seems that although Steem does not call for all originality, that the tag does deem for original content.

I'll be sure to never make this mistake again as I don't want to make anyone upset within the community.

I appreciate a powerful user such as yourself making such an impact on my posts :). Many users on Steem simply comment "great article" or something generic and move on without actually reading anything, while I try to actually read and create a conversation with the creator if possible!
