Hi, u submit this wonderful photo as a stock in a group called ' horsestock heaven, it means that we can use it as... well a stock image or it would be considered as " taking/stealing " it ^^ ?

Hello! Thanks for the information before taking my photo. I didn't know what ''stock photo'' means so I upload some photos to the group accidentally. The only thing I wanted was for people to see my photos... My fault. Anyway, if you want to take the photo for something in particular (like a drawing or something) you can tell me and I leave you happily 😊

Thanks for the information again! I don't mind If people use my photos as references (stock photos, as you said) but I don't want them to ''steal'' them. How can I remove my photo? And How can I make the difference between a stock photo for references and a photo for take/''steal'' it''?
Sorry about my disinformation, I don't control Deviantart well yet. 😢
Thanks for your nice words! It would be an honor If you use one of my photos for references to draw something. 😊

Well, in fact it's up to you, you can't write in the description box what 'use' or your pics people can have (: !
If you only want them to see and watch it (no ref, no trace, no manipulation) it's better to write " DO NOT USE " in the description box (if so, you can remove your pictures from Horse Stock heaven by : go to you pic -> find the group on the group list on the right panel -> tick the little pencil and then select "remove this deviation...". it's a bit timeconsuming so I think you can note the group instead and explain them that you want your picture to be removed because you no longer want let them as stock !
If you don't mind people using your photographies (for art, tracing and manips), which is the point if I get things right, you can let those pics where they are and add something like "Do not repost original anywhere"
You can also choose to be asked before anyone use your work, by adding some rules like "ask before use" or "for references only" (if you don't want people to manipulate them in photomanipulations). Here's an exemple of rules in the description box : earthly-stock.deviantart.com/a…
In fact, you are completely free to choose the rules you want for your pictures as long as you make sure to write them in the description box.
In my opinion, when pictures are in the "photography" category I consider that the artist don't want them to be used in any way (I asked you because I find your work in Horse Stock Heaven group) but many ppl around here won't think the same and if you don't clarify things they'll do whatever they want ^^ !
I understand how tricky it can be (: don't worry ! BTW it's a pleasure to help <3
