It has been my experience that any photo I have posted anywhere on the Internet is vulnerable to being picked up and used. I have seen many of my photos on Google Images and even a few on Amazon third party sellers. I don't post full-sized photos for that reason. I limit my online postings to 1000 pixels wide. My Nikon camera takes pictures 6400 pixels wide, so I crop and/or downsize them a lot to post.

I am attaching one of my zinnia pictures as an example. You can right-click and select View Image on Dave's Garden pictures to see a larger version, and hit the F11 key for a bit larger view, enabled by removing your Browser's heading material. You can see larger yet by doing Ctrl + to magnify your Browser. Hit F11 again to restore your headings and hit the left arrow to return to the normal DG view. So limiting your posted pictures to only 1000 pixels wide does not impose a serious limitation on Dave's Garden viewers.

I have no idea whether Dave's Garden will honor your request to have your photos removed. Let us know how that turns out. They do imprint a copyright notice on my posted photos. That is all I require in the way of protection from Dave's Garden.
