When I hit the properties button it says

Bonn_Beethovenhaus__Bonn_Beethoven_807D4B55-EFEF-6AE6-AB0D424E76D00126.jpg

I think that's a clue.

May be time for the files to be re-named before inclusion - it might take a few hours to get a correct answer then.

I submitted the photo thinking it would be good timing since the 16th was Beethoven's birthday. Usually the image info is changed, so that if you right-click and check 'view image info' all you see is a gibberish set of characters. I thought Mizuti would take of that, or that just the process of storing the image on the CR4 servers would give it a random character name... Oh well.

Next time it'll be more like this:

right click and properties is not my secret, that would have made it easier though.
