Under the Creative Commons BY-ND (Attribution-NoDerivatives) license, users can share the photograph but are not permitted to alter it in any way. The following scenarios can be considered:

  1. Uploading the photograph to one's social media page, thanking the photographer who took the photo - This is allowed as long as no alterations are made to the photograph.

  2. Photoshopping a house into the photograph - This would be a violation of the BY-ND license because it involves altering the original photograph.

  3. Putting the image on a flyer with the creator's name on the bottom and distributing it - This is allowed as long as there are no alterations made to the image itself.

  4. Uploading the photograph to one's own personal web page with an attribution to the creator - This is also allowed as long as there are no alterations made to the photograph.

The only scenario that constitutes a violation of the BY-ND license is photoshopping a house into the photograph.
