I saw that.Nearly everything on t'internet is US law, which is quite different to UK and Australian law. Bugger. I've done a drawing of a fairly distincitive aircraft and want to put it on my site, but don't fancy getting done for it

As a rule,I think people only care if you are making a profit from using their work. The worst you could get is an email asking you to remove it.
I guess if you are selling the painting then it's only fair to contact the photographer to offer them a fair share.
That said, people usually like an email to say their work is appreciated, so contacting the photographer is probably the best approach. And give them a link to their website.

Pretty much what I was going to do(i.e. giving a link to the original and an ackowledgement), but I wasn't going to sell it.
