I wish my images were good enough for anyone to want to steal them!
Best wishes,

Of course some would be. We're all at some risk, depending on where we post our shots ... Clearly for web advertising purposes even an image sized for Facebook is good enough.
For the unscrupulous the main thing i guess is that it fits their purpose ...in fact they may consider a relative 'unknown' as fairer game.

A bit of excessive modesty there methinks. I could get away with that quite easily - but you, I think not. I wish my images were good enough for anyone to want to steal them!
