Seems like $1100 could very well be insufficient. The photographer had to do the legwork of finding out that DN used his photo without permission, go to the trouble of getting a lawyer involved, the lawyer has to get his cut of the payout, etc. The time to reasonably negotiate fees is before you post the guy's professional work, not afterwards.
