I couldn't find the original, but this is clearly not a photo you took yourself.

Not citing the source of photos(images) is plagiarism. Here is a post on why this is bad, and here is how easy it is to find allowed photos.

This isn't about copyright it is about taking credit for another persons work. #photography is a tag that is used by photographers to post their own work.

If you are posting anything that you didn't create yourself you should provide a link to the source or indicate it isn't yours or not use the #photography tag.

I read all the FAQ & Steemit Rules ( I suggest you do same ) Nothing you say is true, so stop inventing rules that doesn't exist here on Steemit

Everyone is free to use their voting stake however they like, there are no official rules on what is allowed and what is not. Steemcleaners are just a group of people trying to combat plagiarism, identity theft, etc.. Most people seem to agree the photography tag should be for photos that you actually took yourself. If you are going to keep posting pictures you didn't take under the photography tag there is a good chance they could be flagged.

well, another abuse doesn't count isn't it?
