This guy is no friend. I went though a similar thing with a rock band a few 
years ago, and it took a threat of a copyright violation charge to get them 
to remove an offending image from their web site.

Say...

Why not make a notation next to the photo on your site that says, " This 
photograph can also be seen on XXXX's web site. He has posted it  so that 
my work can be compared with his. Wasn't that nice of him? Please visit his 
site at www.xxxxxxx.whatever , and hopefully, after you see the differences 
in our styles, you'll come back to me. I support what XXX has done as I 
want my customers to be able to make informed decisions about what will 
become the most important day in their lives."

"Oh, and while you are at XXXX's web site, and if you like the sample of my 
work as shown there, please email XXXXX and tell him so. And thank him for 
showing my work on his site."

See Janis? If you show him how grateful you are for keeping your image on 
his site, he'll be so happy, he'll remove it! :)

I'd like to see how he has displayed your picture. What is his website 
address? (No, I won't write to him).

Unfortunately when we were
closer friends (two years ago) I *DID* mention
it - and asked for photo credit or have it removed and his response was,
"Oh
yeah, yeah... No problem!  I'll take it off when I update my
site!"  Well
that was over two years ago... and I've seen him since - and he never
mentions it - and also I asked him again another time - because I was
launching MY OWN site - and he said, "Sure yeah, I'll take it down
when you
launch your site" - THAT was over a year ago... So yeah, I've
pretty much
given up... Even when local brides started chattering about it on a local
message board - that didn't change anything... The girls were even saying
"Hmmm... something weird is going on here"... Because
they saw the same
image on both of our sites...
I was just going to let it go - but it's about principle now... It's just
ONE image, I know that... but I think it's wrong to put someone else's work
on your site to advertise what you can do... I just find it unethical...
and
it deeply disappoints me... That's all...
