Do not want to dissapoint anyone, but it is not a Temple. It's a Japanese Castle or Fort and the water running around it is a moat. It is not Osaka castle, looks too small, saw one in Oita similar or it could be Kumamoto castle. In order to know for sure you would need more detail.

That URL has the same picture that Apple used I think. Since I live here, they all look the same to me.

This isn't the exact picture, but it's quite good.

As a student of photography, it sickens me to know that cheapskates like you won't just register and buy the damn thing. To think a pro photographer (who spent more on a camera than you would on a computer) is going to get ripped off when somebody does as you asks.
I hope they do more than watermark images in the future to stop this kind of theft, like DRM for images just like music. Its clear you want it, why not pay for it?
Its things like this that prevents me from showing people online the photos I take as a student. Many times I have wanted to show one of my images in the desktop threads. Some would make fantastic backgrounds, yet at the moment only I can enjoy them because of people like you.

Or do as he says...then realise the effort it takes in making a good photo.

I think that was a little harsh. I would buy it for the low price if I could but I am 14 and don't have a credit or anny other means of payment. and I really like that picture

Actually it's not harsh. You can't pay for it, so you decide to steal it instead? Please explain that logic to me, I'm all ears.

But you do have parents, they have credit cards...
You are in a hole which you cannot dig out of.

Well, stealing is wrong, nomatter how old you are or how little money you have... so that's not very harsh...
On the other hand, if you should obtain that image, you could alter it somewhat in (your legal copy of) Photoshop, thus making it your own work (though based on the original photographers image). That should take you around most copyright acts... at least in most European legislation, it can be different in other parts of the world...

Just had an extreme Lemmings flashback, as to digging yourself out of a hole...

I understand your frustration, BUT what is your gain in not sharing your student artwork with anyone?
If your pictures are as good as you say, build a transactionnal website and sell them. Of course many people will simply rip the image but some people will also be willing to buy them, especialy if you only offer the 640-480image for free. Right now, you dont make a buck with these images, if you sell them for 1$ each you would at least make some cash and get experience and popularity.
You are acting exactly like the Disk Majors right now. This line of thinking will only hurt yourself. Be proactive, dare to offer a product and people will come! Many people dont know that it can take hours to take a good picture and process it, but if they knew they wouldnt be so inclined to get it for free. It is all about information, same as with music... There are always going to be people who will argue that they dont want to pay for it, forget them, serve the ones who are interested insted...
If you need help to make such a web site, PM me, I have connexions ;-)
