Being worried about being copied...not really a valid concern at this point in time, there's so few people mapping atm that nearly all that have made a map are easy to get in contact. In my perspective that's a concern carried over from the Doom family of games, which is saturated with modders in general for that to be an issue.
To me, sharing pictures motivates me to continue working on a map and sometimes i get ideas on where to go next from other people seeing them.
So yeah, if you want to inspire people and maybe even get inspiration yourself stuff i think sharing is optimal.
