Well, this *is* stock photography we're talking about. Every  
photographer uploading their stuff to sxc.hu should, I hope, be well  
aware that they're giving up control over where that picture is going  
to be used, including uses that could potentially make other people  
money. If someone had stuck the words "Explore the dramatic scenery  
of Iceland!" on top of that picture and used it to sell package  
holidays, that would be perfectly fine (indeed, that would be the  
whole point of stock photography).

I agree with everyone else that this entry isn't in the spirit of  
fair competition - but in my eyes it is a legitimate use of stock  
photography.
