Thanks to the PrtSc button on PCs, no image is safe! Watermarks are either easy to clone out, or otherwise are distracting and spoil the image, negating the whole purpose of posting it.

Small images of less than 600pixels are not particularly likely to be commercially useful to potential downloaders. If someone saw an image they liked or needed at that size, they would likely contact you for a larger size (I sold an image I had posted on TrekLens this way once).

Commercial photographers often display images of this size on their websites, usually without obtrusive watermarks.

So my instinct is that adding further protection to the PU gallery would not provide significant protection, from a threat which I do not find particularly significant anyway.

More overt 'bokeh' in this image than the previous one from me. Sigma SuperwideII 24mm:

Thanks. I was pleased with the erased graffiti images too. That wall reminded me of Antoni Tapies paintings.

I agree with Mike, they're all very cute but the last one is a beaut. What a relaxed pose, even a bit of spittle dribbling out (reminds me of Stimpy!) The DOF isolates the litle pup perfectly too.

Thanks for the feedback

I can't honestly remember what the policeman was holding, you're right, the composition would have been better if it was included.

Some pics showing the other side of the Birmingham experience, which I took this morning. All with my SMC-A 80-200, which I find an excellent little lens.

I would love the P30, I had mine stolen earlier this year and I miss it!

(Actually, mine was the metal one - this one's a P30n. Still just as functional though I'm sure!)

The effect is not exactly subtle, but I am intrigued how you did it.
