Roots and Stars
Macro Photography | Intimate Nature Photography
As said in a post a couple of days ago: I love to photograph such little scenes in the woods more and more, but they are so hard to find, at least for me. This old rotten root that I have found during a walk through a beech forest seems to be surrounded by little green stars.
It's a focus stack image from about 30 photos, taken with my Canon EOS R5 and the RF 100mm Macro lens.
The images were stacked with Helicon Focus and edited in Adobe Lightroom and Photoshop.

Potential source of photography plagiarism
The image you posted is the primary source of value for your post, or you have posted an image in one of the photography/art curated tags without attribution or source. By doing so, you are claiming to be the sole content creator and that the image is original to you.

Hi @hivewatchers,
I'm not on Discord and so I'm replying here with my main account: I appreciate your work and I understand your concerns, but tis time you're wrong, because everything I post is my own work.
Please have a look at the conversation I had on my yesterday's post: https://ecency.com/hive-194913/@artmentor/frozen-world-from-above - maybe this will explain everything to you.
Best regards,
Johann Piber / artmentor
Hello @johannpiber
The account had watermarks edited, so it was under suspicion of photo art theft. Also, apparently, this account was asked before if it had any external photo portfolio website and was denied.
Why are you using the alternative account to repost the same photos?
Am I not allowed to have a second account? I have my reasons to not post on my own account at the moment and for not telling my real name, so I also didn't tell my website, and there's no website for "artmentor". That's the reason for editing the watermark.
What do you mean by repost? I have never posted the same photo more than once on the Hive - not on my main account nor on this one - but I am certainly allowed to post on my website and other social media, am I not?
"and there's no website for "artmentor""
To avoid having accounts suspected of photo art theft, I would recommend not giving misleading replies to the community and not editing the watermark when creating alternative accounts.
If the new account uses your photography (Johann Piber) then it should be clearly mentioned in the posts/account profile.
Thank you
When I post on artmentor the watermark will be artmentor. As said, I have my reasons, and if that's a reason for downvoting me, then feel free to do so.
I have removed the downvotes.
Since this account was created to mislead and you are using it self vote and farm rewards it should be probably blacklisted.
Do whatever you want.
The last two days have shown me that my time here is apparently over.
I do not know what you refer to, but I am sorry to hear that.
Thank you for your witness vote!

Why don't you come back to steemit?
I'm always here, my friend, but I don't think I will come back for good. I have a power down going and sometime next year I will decide whether I carry on or not.
My work is still very demanding and I use the time off work to get out into nature and on the mountains to refill my batteries and to take photos. I even don't post very much on other social media, but on TikTok I post a video from my hikes at least once a week.
Wish you all the best, my friend 😊👍
I hope that you will solve all your problems, whether it be work or health, I wish you this and remember that you are always welcome there and no one will ask you for any explanations, they respect people there for what no one else does :)
Thanks, my friend 😊
