This photo: 

https://stock.adobe.com/images/translucent-light-bulb-shinging-in-a-forrest/255384436

is stolen and is my original photo.My guess is that most of that user's photos are stolen too.

It was first posted here

by me. It is in fact a photo from my kitchen. 

I request that this be taken down.

Regards,

Nope. This post is also after talking to their "live chat" about the issue.

Hi Wendy, 

Thanks for the reply. It appears the photo has been already taken down after my posting.  Would you like me to continue with the form?

Feedback:

It's too difficult to report a photo as stolen. There should be a link next to photos to report the photo. The link could point to the page you just provided. When I was trying to report it, I searched in your help. I contacted someone via "Live Chat" and they had me put in a feature request as the solution. They said that's how it's reported. Now that I've posted in this community the photo has been taken down before anyone replied to me. And now you're saying that I need to fill out a form.

Hi D.,

I had alerted our team that handles copyright infringment about the issue. If you could go ahead and submit the form it will ensure that all bases are covered. Thank you.

Wendy
