Because of US copyright law, TPF requires you have a valid use license to post photos that you do not own copyright too.
It is OK to post a hot link to a photo that you do notr own rights to
I suspected the photos weren't yours so I did not do an edit of one as an example since to do so would require the copyright owners permission to make the derivative of the original.
A couple of good web sites to learn more about copyright is Photo Attorney or U.S. Copyright Office

Ideally we hope to get a photo as close to right in the camera. Light direction and quality is very important.
So here are a couple of good sources for you:

KmH, thank you very much for the resources you have provided me with, I will absolutely be combing through all of the links you sent my way. I truly appreciate the help you have provided.
As far as copyright goes, I already understand a great deal. I own the rights to these photos as I was the one who shot them.
I have no interest in stealing people's images to work on. Ideally I am looking for someone who will give permission for me to use their images to practice on or to find some sort of stock site where I can pay for the photos to practice with.
I strongly believe in protecting a creators rights to limit and supervise the use of their creation.
Again, thank you very much for your assistance KmH. I appreciate you taking the time to put all of that material together.
