Superb Shots, Eric. Yes, the copyright is intrusive but, again, it's your work and we can still imagine the photo without it. If someone is dying to see a photo without the copyright I guess he/she can buy a copy from you! Impressive shots, again.

Thanks for the comment RStyga. I think their are valid points on both sides, but ultimately I decided to reduce the watermark size. The new images should go live today or tmr. Ultimately, piracy is better than obscurity IMO :).

Hi, i just want to say this: what Adobe is planning to do with their software pricing policy is outrageous. Penguins? What penguins?

Penguins? A cool topic to chill all the heat generated by the Adobe announcement! Penguins are also masters of living mobile icebergs, or nest temporarily, so they have lessons to teach us how to adjust to the world of "apps".

I assume those 4 on the picture above are Penguins of Madagascar, aren't they?
