Copyright question and landscapes
On the question of if someone takes it, and modifies it. You still hold Copyright to the image, but unless the person who modifies it uses it for gain, again commercially, then there is not much you can do about it.
Copyright Laws are mainly to protect people who create art in any form from having their art, or intellectual ideas from being used for gain through unauthorized use. People using or copying your creation for personal use, is hard to get any damages for, since it is down to one person using it, and not making a profit.
There is also the Creative Commons type of Copyright, where people are encouraged to steal, and modify your work even for gain. Which I see as stupid on the part of the artists who go for that.
Joves really hit a home run on this answer. I have nothing else to add
