Duo doesn't accept "This photo is from my younger brothers." Could the German sentence mean both?

That's even how I interpreted it on first view (this photo has been made by my younger brothers)
Dieses Foto ist von meinen jüngeren Brüdern (gemacht worden)
or
dieses Foto ist von meinen jüngeren Brüdern (they gave it to me as a present)

Only with a context the sentence will be unambiguous.

Native :de: / using :uk: / learning :fr: :cn: :it: / once learnt Image / trying to understand at least a bit :poland:
