An image found online has no clear permission to reuse.
An image can invite an interpretation without proving it. Begin with visible details, then mark any imagined story as imagined. A careful caption adds context while preserving the uncertainty outside the frame.
Use an original image or one with verified reuse rights and credit.
Leave an easy return path where possible. Changing a method should not require pretending the earlier attempt never existed.
