identification of sawfish in photo

David: George Burgess and I are writing a shark biology book for non-profit Hopkins Press. We are intending to use your excellent sawfish photo taken at the Ga Aquarium. The caption will read: "A Smalltooth Sawfish swimming in the Ocean Voyager tank of the Georgia Aquarium. Photo by David Iliff. License: CC-BY-SA 3.0, from Wikimedia Commons, http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/File:Pristis_pectinata_-_Georgia_Aquarium_Jan_2006.jpg."

George questions the identification. He wrote: "Even without carefully looking at the one you found, I'll bet it's an Australian species (microdon), the only species that is CITES legal in the aquarium trade."

I responded: "The photographer of the "small tooth" photo says the photo was taken in 2006 and the fish could have already been there a while. Were the CITES restrictions in place then? I don't want to contradict the published caption without firsthand, etc info."

Can you please clarify, one way or the other. thanks, Gene genehelfman@gmail.comGenehelfman (talk) 16:27, 13 April 2013 (UTC)[reply]

Philadephia skyline

I am sorry to bother you, I am writing this correspondence to bring an image to your attention. I recently came across an image of the philly skyline that may be of interest to you. Even thought. the image seem like the comcast building is incomplete, it give a good scale of the buildings relationships to one another esp. Liberty Place bldgs, mellon bldg, verizon tower, & the blue cross blue shield bldg, which I & everyone else who does not live in philly can appreciate. I am writing to you because I do not have an acct in wiki. http://bodyofproof.wikia.com/wiki/File:Phil-skyline.png — Preceding unsigned comment added by 24.188.154.38 (talk) 00:32, 8 June 2013 (UTC)[reply]

Picture Radcliffe Camera, Oxford

I found a picture of the Radcliffe Camera, Oxford in Wikipedia, under OXFORD. I would like permission to use it in a book I am preparing.

I understand that I need to print "Photo by DAVID ILIFF. License: CC-BY-SA 3.0" underneath the picture. Do I need to do anything else? If so, what and please tell me how to do it.

Wimbledon 13

Great range of Wimby photos. Thank you. More tennis player pictures always welcome. Sirobi (talk) 20:50, 27 June 2013 (UTC)[reply]

Looked at most of them, so will keep an eye out for new ones. (Recently added some myself from Roland Garros & have some from 1st day at Wimbledon to upload, but not of same quality). Your page is great by the way; wonderful shots. Hope you can get to other tennis tournaments in the future Sirobi (talk) 05:24, 28 June 2013 (UTC)[reply]

Re: Your Photo Windsor Castle at Sunset - Nov 2006

Hi David,

I'd like to use the photo of Windsor Castle at sunset to represent Berkshire on a set of County Playing Cards I'm producing. I'm happy to include the suggested attribution "Photo by David Iliff. License: CC-BY-SA 3.0" in the photo credits.

Could you let me know if that will be okay. My email address is: stephen.gawtry@ntlworld.com

Many thanks,

File:Jamison Valley, Blue Mountains, Australia - Nov 2008.jpg

Hi David. Great photo of the Jamison Valley from 2008. I'm in the process of revising Kings Tableland. While I'm generally aware of the geography of the area, I just wanted to confirm with you that the spur to the left of this image is the Kings Tableland. Your confirmation, or otherwise, would be appreciated. Thanks mate. Hope you're enjoying London. Rangasyd (talk) 13:53, 1 July 2013 (UTC)[reply]

Hi there. Yep, I believe it is. I know where the photo was taken and I've had a look on Google Maps. It's definitely it on the left. Whether it's specifically the spur in the foreground on the left, I'm not entirely sure as I don't know where it officially begins, but it's certainly the land on the left side of the valley.
