Hi, did you actually paint the portrait in the image above and take the photograph of it? Videmus Omnia ^Talk 00:55, 4 September 2007 (UTC)[reply]

I cropped the photgraph, changed the background, and modified it, added the popes crest, and the frame. Helpfuluser 00:59, 4 September 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Unfortunately, that doesn't mean that you own the copyright to the image, which is a derivative work of the original portrait. Videmus Omnia ^Talk 01:01, 4 September 2007 (UTC)[reply]
