Hello Juergen
There is no change in copyright policy.
If a photo is deleted, any photo comments go with it aitomatically.
One or both of the ORSK photo were reloaded after being straightened (horizon), so they start again with no comments. I will decide about the photos themselves without further public comment.
As I have said several times before, public comments about deletions are not welcome - they should be by PM or email to a relevant admin, or to me. They are always liable to deletion. But I am not aware of any being deleted from the SLAVNYY photo.
