Usian Bolt about to cross the finish line. Lightning bolt cheering him on in the background. It may not be a perfect image but certainly a perfect moment!

Nice! I'm a believer in serendipity.

I don't know who holds the copyright to this image but it would be nice to at least acknowledge the photographer: OLIVIER MORIN/AFP/Getty Images.

He sorry JSU.
I posted the originating URL for that reason. Hope that was enough since it is already in the public domain.

It isn't in the public domain; it is owned by either the photographer or his employer. Every newspaper, news website, magazine, etc. that used it paid to do so. Public domain means it is free, no one owns the copyright, and that is not the case here.

Thanks. Make a suggestion. Should I pull it down or continue to share ?

Kind of interesting how easy it is for this kind of thing to get going. "Public domain" is very misunderstood.

Somebody should tell google, if this is a copyright violation they have to close their image search!!!!

Andy, I was about to congratulate you on a truly stunning image.

I think you should put a sentence above the picture, immediately indicating the source. That is a great photo to share.

I changed the original post. Please end the discussion within this thread about legal issues.
Sorry for any inconvenience or heart valve flapping this may have caused.

Cheers

Do those photogs on the infield really think they're going to get a shot of the finish?
