among it's critics vs supporters here on DU, it was on my Facebook feed that I discovered the first photo which I recognized as a winner in one of our contests. Imagine my surprise! Investigation eventually yielded the Instagram account of the photographer who was not the person on DU who entered the photo in the contest! More investigation led to discovering a second photo also had been submitted to a different contest and was tracked to a different photographer and the website where it was for sale.

Deception may be undone. Truth will out. But sometimes it takes a fair amount of work to get there, which to me is worth it, rather than letting it go.
