Call for photos

I am trawling around looking for good photos of horses for my artwork and growing a teeny bit frustrated by the constraints of the attribution licence. It has many benefits - such as allowing you to make derivative works from some lovely people's photos - but just that one little drawback in the world of painting which is the need to reference that it is based on a photo found on flickr creative commons.

Question: when is a credit stating ' Based on a photo by ...... at http:www.....' a good thing to put include in the title of a painting forevermore? 

And so, on that note, anyone who doesn't mind giving me permission to paint a horse from any of their blog photos, please do let me know...
