This request may return a large amount of data. To speed data transmission, do the following:
IMPORTANT: A photographer (author) credit for an image must be displayed with the image if available.

If space prevents that, you may omit parts of the credit to show just Getty Images or Getty, provided the full credit is displayed at the next reasonable alternative location, even if that is on another screen, if that location exists.
