  I have a post with a Mallard duck in the lake. https://theshowersofblessing.wordpress.com/2016/10/14/local-lake/
  This blogger stole my photo, photoshopped the colors, and put his signature on his cropped pages, and claimed that his own. I compared every little detail of my original picture, even the waves of the water, the reflection of the duck, the curled tail of the duck. The photo is mine, and I credited to myself at the bottom of my post.
