Just tell them to post a link to the site they think you stole them from, if they can't then they have no basis for saying you stole them!.Www@QuestionHome@Com

That must hurt your feelings that people see how good your work is and have a hard time believing you did it :(
I seems like you do get attacked a lot about your photos here on Answers!. I wonder why!?

I would think that they're guilty of this sort of crime!.!. because I can't think of any other reason they would try to accuse you! You know how if you do something wrong, and get away with it, it makes you realize how capable everyone else is of doing the same thing so you start accusing them of it!? Kinda like cheating in relationships!.

But then again!.!. there are other wonderful photographers on here that don't get accused!. So why you!? Why do they pick on you!? It's sad :(

I've never had anyone accuse me of stealing someones work, but the best advice I can give you is to ignore it!. They have no proof so there is nothing they can do against you!.

Try not to let it get to you, you're a wonderful photographer and obviously more people recognize that(even the great ones around here)!.Www@QuestionHome@Com

Ask them to prove it, or stuff it!. The only time you (or anyone) should feel bad about that is if you DID steal them!. If people just THINK you stole them from a pro, that means you're awesome & they're jealous! Or they think photography is something ordinary people can't do well!? Who knows!Www@QuestionHome@Com

Why are you focusing on the few people with negative comments instead of the 30 others who said your photos were beautiful!?!?

Photography may not be the best field for you if you take feedback so personally!.!.!.!.!.!.!.either that or just keep it to yourself instead of posting it online for people to comment on!. Know what I mean Vern!?!?Www@QuestionHome@Com

Take it as a compliment; two of them meant it in a good way!.
and they are very good! I really like the second one!.
answer mine!?
