Well, I am pleased to share with you National Geographic's response to my inquiry about obtaining permission from the photographer, to use my "altered image" from one of theirs. I quote:
Quote:
That image is from a Sept 1989 article and was taken by Peter Essick. He is represented by National Geographic, therefore, we own the rights to all of his images. You will not be infringing on any copyright laws if you do not publicly display your painting (which is excellent, by the way), sell it or make any profit from it at all. If you have any more questions, please let me know.
Thanks, Hillary Murphy

I sent them the original and the work in progress and I hope others can benefit from my humbling experience.
Now I know how far you can push the envelope....
