I respectfully declined and deleted my work. But it did seem like a super easy way to make half-square triangles into a face, flower or animal.
I looked at the UK site too. Your computer does that to every image on its pages! Only, the pixels it makes are much tinier. It is hard to see how the people in the UK could copyright that universal process and how they could assume control of your photo, without copyright conflict with your rights or the rights of the person who originally took the photo. Usually,if you are going to make ONE copy of a graphic image for yourself there is no problem..
And if you took the photo you own the rights. I suggest that if you didn't take that photo, you can take some pictures of old barns yourself and use them. jp the quilter
