Resolved Question

I want to make a poster of the image below. it used to be on allposters.com, and ive found it on corbis....?

but it is ridiculously expensive.

have you any suggestion as to where or how i might be able to procure this image?
i dont mind paying £10 or £15 to get it made into a poster, but corbis's advertising industry prices are absurd.

also what it the difference to joe bloggs of it being royalty free or not royalty free - if hes not using it for advertising purposes?

the image is called RIPPLING WATER [rf 4472180] third one down on the left side among this page of images.

Copy it to a CD and then take it to a large Tesco store. They have a poster printing service which is very cheap. As long as the picture quality is good enough you will get a very good poster with change from a £20 note. Just take your CD along to the store and print it off there (if you want a very large poster ten you have to wait a few days for them to deliver)

• Any unauthorised copying of an image is breach of copyright. The image is currently licensed to Corbis and it sounds as if allposters had a licence for it for a time.
  
  It doesn't matter whether you want it for your own use or for a commercial purpose, it's still infringing copyright.
  
  If you take it to somewhere like Tesco or Boots, they do check whether you have permission to reproduce the image.
  
  Either find another supplier who licenses the image at a lower price of find a similar image at a better price.
