It was whoever stole my image and sent it around by email that made the connection between AFLAC and the picture. AFLAC could use this as a marketing opportunity to get the right message about as people obviously like the image. If the duck really is putting money into her purse there are better ways of doing it, it really does look like the money is being stolen while the woman is distracted!

Mark - thanks for the advice. I'm not too worried about the sites above using it, as long as I get a link back but if it was published in a book or magazine..

Snopes and other sites commenting about the image itself can (semi) get away with it under the Fair Use clause (although photos and poems aren't covered by Fair Use). Sorry to hear about your losses. It's a great image. :-) It’s best if you watermark, copyright and invoice for use of the image.

Well, it says "props." I'm not a rabid animal lover seeking to make a stink over it; I'm just curious. So, were these indeed taxidermied ducks, as it says on snopes?

A funny thing happened today. A friend of Jacinta's called over and in the course of conversation I told her about this image and brought the laptop down to show her it. When she saw it she exclaimed that she had seen that photo before! I asked if I had shown it to her, but no, it was sent to her by email. So, this image has been all over the USA, and back to Killeagh in Co. Cork by email. Wow, that blows my mind! Thanks for commenting everyone! A funny thing happened today.

I haven't yet been sent it, but I say yet cos I have been sent other images I have seen on Flickr and know they belong to the actual person posting them up, as opposed to those who have blatantly posted pics which have been sent on email. Well done, its an amazing shot. It is a cracking shot, I loved it the first time around.

I received the picture as a forward from a friend in my inbox and I posted it to Freeple. It sure is travelling a lot through emails. http://www.freeple.com/blog/2006/11/04/aflac-insurance-fraud-be-careful-of-the-duck/ I thought the money was added in for sure, but wow, that's a great picture, nice timing.
