I think this is a much better option than legal action. Although Martyn would certainly win any legal action that came up, it would be costly and time consuming. It would be in both Martyn's and .net's interest to settle this amicably and outside of the courts.
I would add that the courts will expect you to have tried to settle, and going straight to court could (to my limited knowledge) damage your claim, at least as far as reclaiming costs goes.
The only other point is that as the plaintiff, I'm guessing Martyn would need to prove he took the photo. The fish tank (or a second photo of it) would probably suffice.
