    I'm not a lawyer...

    But I can't see why not. You're not selling the stock photo (which is a big no).

    I've seen that exact photo used in templates, websites before (it's quite popular).

    If you want, you can always contact the author to double check.

    I would guess that you are fine with your described use. But as mentioned, you could always double check.

    Everything you need to know is here http://www.sxc.hu/help/7_2


    Most noteworthy:
    Always ask permission from the photographer if you want to use the Image

    * In website templates that You intend to sell or distribute.
    * For creating printed reproductions that You intend to sell.
    * On "print on demand" items such as t-shirts, postcards, mouse pads, mugs (e.g. on sites like Cafepress), or on any similar mass produced item that would contain the Image in a dominant way.


    hope that helps,
    Nigel
