Birds have excellent eyesight. You don’t know that another bird might recognize THIS bird.
Could happen, y’know.

The "not recognizable under any circumstances" bit was my response. They still insisted upon a release. I insisted in ash-canning the agency.

Hello, this is my first post on the forum. I was visiting an historic graveyard in Galveston, TX and took a couple distant photos of a man who was visiting a gravesite. He appeared to be homeless and possibly was just hanging out there. When I realized I had captured something special, the man was gone and I have no idea who he is. I would like to share the photos on the forum but I'm not sure it's legal or the proper thing to do. Comments please, and thank you.
show us the photo. black out his face if you're paranoid

The running man was a cardboard prop you put there and that was a really good throw on the bird decoy, problem solved

Print the photo. The guy might have skipped out on his alimony payments to his wife and five kids.

If you have a picture of a model holding your product in her hands, and it is used for commercial purposes, then there must be a model release, even if no one can identify the model from the photo. The model was probably selected because of her beautiful hands, and is due compensation. This is different from your case, but the agency is super cautious.

Off-top, slightly, but something similar happened in the early days of the California Lottery. This was on the “Big Spin” program, where someone came on the show to give the wheel a spin and win some money. This one guy, he gave the wheel a turn, and it ended up on “$30,000”.
Unfortunately, his ex-wife was also watching the “live” show and it turns out that he also was in arrears for his spousal and child support. Guess what happened to his lottery winnings?

Sure, they could take the form out on the pier and the Sea Gull could put it's mark on it! Splat!

He is not recognizable, and I do not use it for commercial purposes. It took me awhile to track him down. But when I did, he appreciated the print that I gave him and gave me the story behind the Fallen Comrade that he was visiting.

I recognized him! His name is Johnathan. Middle name Livingston. He is even a famous figure in literature!
