Yep, right Michael. A link post does generate an image, and you can choose which image, and it links to the blog -- which is all good.
But you can't post it as a photo, so it's not as big, people can't click to see it larger, and they can't share it as a photo. It also doesn't stay on your page as a photo. So, the leaves photo on Facebook vs. the highlights post right beneath it shows the contrast and engagement.

If you post a url only, does FB auto- load it?

I would really like to post some of the photos on social. Can we get permission from the photographers -- i.e., are the organizers in touch with them? I don't see any of the photos in the public domain, which is what we need unless we have permission.

Hi all,
We've just published "See the stunning winning photographs from Wiki Loves Earth 2015" to the blog: http://blog.wikimedia.org/2015/10/15/wiki-loves-earth-winners/
Thanks to Vira for the post.

The top five images come from three continents and five countries. You can't miss <insert favorite image here>. Have you ever seen a bee being born?
