A while ago now, I made a trip up to Cleland Wildlife Park. This picture of a Fairy Wren was one I was particularly pleased with:

The shot was taken with a Canon 1d markII, 300 2.8IS, 2x, 1/200sec @ f/9

Thanks for looking. Comments and feedback welcome!

why is your name written across the bird?

Watermark. These images are sold on my site and this is the only way I can protect such sales.

I find it hard to critique a photo with words stamped across it. I appreciate that you sell your photos, but maybe you should consider the fact that you surely have higher resolution versions for sale, whereas the low resolution on line versions aren't worth copying for the average thief.

I don't think it's proper to ask for a critique of such an overtly watermarked image.

I agree with Valzuniga, the "watermark" is very distracting. How big a problem is thievery anyway? Aren't photos mainly "stolen" by people who would never buy one in any case?

Perhaps if it was in a corner or something. Like an artist signing a painting.......

Then they could crop out the sig.

Then "They" would control the whole world market on Fairy Wren shots. I shudder to think. Next thing -- someone's gonna tell me it's not even a real wren or something.
