OK to use public domain image as part of composite?

drdane

I have an idea for an image that would include a public domain image as part of a composite. It would be background, while the exif would come from an image shot during the appropriate time period (main subject).

I don't see this addressed in the rules posted in this forum, so I'm requesting clarification from a "higher power" .

Thanks!

I am not a higher power, but my interpretation of the rules is that every image used in a composite must be taken by you during the contest window.

Your own images please

I'm curious what you think is a public domain picture.

Thanks, Andy - that certainly clears up the gray area for me!

Hi, Angelo - NASA has a lot of beautiful space shots that could make cool backgrounds, you can find some here:

Most can be used by the public, as long as credit is given. (Handy for those of us who don't have giant telescopes in our camera bags - talk about a big nasty lens:D!)

Blessings,
